Whether someone’s using a screen reader, navigating by keyboard, or dealing with slow internet, they still deserve a smooth, usable experience. Accessibility helps make that possible - and in the process, it improves clarity, performance, and long-term flexibility for everyone.
At Appcentric, we build accessibility into every project, right from the start.
Here’s how we make that happen:
- Clear, Semantic Structure
We use semantic HTML to help screen readers and assistive tech understand your content properly. That includes logical heading levels (H1, H2, etc.), labelled sections, proper lists, and more. It’s great for accessibility - and a big win for SEO and content reuse, too. - Visual Clarity and Contrast
Colour and typography choices really matter. We use accessible contrast ratios and easy-to-read type to support users with visual impairments, dyslexia, or cognitive differences - and to keep things looking sharp and readable across the board. - Keyboard-Friendly Navigation
Not everyone uses a mouse or touchscreen. That’s why we make sure buttons, links, and forms are fully navigable via keyboard, with clear focus states so users know where they are at all times. - Alt Text and Media SupportWe treat alternative text as essential - not optional. That means writing clear, descriptive alt tags for images and encouraging transcripts or captions for video and audio content whenever possible.
- Accessible CMS Content
We don’t stop at launch. In Umbraco, we set up intuitive, editor-friendly structures that help content teams maintain accessibility over time. That includes prebuilt, reusable blocks with accessible markup and helpful content prompts. - Flexible, Responsive Layouts
Our designs adapt smoothly to different screens, zoom levels, and user preferences. That’s not just about responsiveness - it’s about supporting low-vision users, mobile-first visitors, and anyone in between.
Good design works for everyone and accessible design is just that: good design.
