I learned A LOT through this exercise in optimizing our websites. I didn’t realize nor admittedly gave much thought to alternative and descriptive text. I read the article and installed the plug-in and realized just how much important work I had ahead of me. I had several errors come up, the most popular being that I was using a lot of gifs which can mess with the screen reader, as well as a few “improper use of link” errors. I need to do more research to figure out how to remedy it, but as for now I moved a quote I overlayed on top of a gif to the side bar so the screen reader would be less confused, I also added more black text as opposed to colored so its easier to read. As I keep building and improving this website I will continue to factor accessibility into my projects and changes.
