Manual inspection

1. First review

Manual review of web content is crucial to assess aspects of accessibility that cannot be tested automatically.

To ensure that your website is accessible to all users, it is important to check accessibility. Here are some steps you can take:

Accessibility:

• Check the contrast between the foreground and background, font size, line spacing and legible font, as well as the visibility of links and buttons.
• Use the contrast checker in your browser’s developer tools to determine the contrast.

Color Safe:

• Use a tool like Color Safe to determine appropriate color combinations for good readability.

Layout:

• Pay attention to a logical page structure. Avoid disruptive elements such as automatic sliders or pop-ups.

2. operation

• Mouse: Check the user interaction with the mouse, the focusing of content and the size of click areas.
• Keyboard: Check the usability with the tab key, the navigation through the page and the interaction with form elements. Test with keyboard
• Screen reader: Test the navigation with a screen reader and the support of keyboard shortcuts for various elements. Test with screen reader

3. check comprehensibility

To test the comprehensibility of the content:

• Use clear and simple language.
• Use simple language if possible.
• Test the content with the target group.
• Pay attention to a clear structure and formatting of the content.

4. further accessibility

Consider the integration of sign language videos (DGS) for deaf users in accessibility. Provide clearly placed videos and supplement them with transcriptions for additional support. Through a thorough manual review, potential barriers for users with different disabilities can be identified and addressed to ensure an accessible experience for all users.
