Accessibility

Thank God that you have good eye sight…

But don’t stop there; think about the people who lack that. It is not very difficult to design your websites for the people with visual or other types of disabilities or impairments. In the United States, a set of federal guidelines, known as Section 508, requires all websites to be accessible to the disabled. Giving options like text controllers, giving ‘alt’ tags to the images, and a few more. Here in this case again CSS plays an important role in making your website appealing to all kinds of people. For the sake of satisfying visually impaired people, giving bigger font in the website may not look good for a normal person.

While designing websites just keep the screen readers in mind. Screen readers don’t read the CSS; they can read only the HTML document which we see when the CSS is disabled. Remember that CSS is only for presentation purpose. Even if you unlink the CSS, the website should look meaningful. So here using heading tags, list items, etc., serves the purpose pretty well. I strongly recommend that the HTML without CSS also should look like a clean document with proper heading levels and list-items. There are some techniques to use both images and HTML text at a time logically.
