Accessablity of Websites

There is a serious issue on the indie web of unaccessable websites, so the Accessible Net Directory was made to gather a collection of fully accessable websites, and give the guidelines websites had to furfill before they could be included. This is a list of the guidelines (which will also serve as a checklist for me to figure out how to impliment.)They are:

Site cannot have autoplaying video or audio
Site can not have quickly moving/brightly flashing backgrounds, text, or images unless they are hidden or separated from main content and preceded by a clearly labeled warning.
Site has proper color contrast for backgrounds, text, and links, as well as conveying information in more ways than just by color.
Site has clearly labeled warnings for graphic depictions of sex or violence.
Sites with high contrast light text on dark background/dark text on light background allow reverse contrast to be enabled.
Site uses scaleable units such as rem/em instead of fixed px units for font sizes.
Font is not overly small or hard to read by default, and uses all caps, italics, and bold sparingly.
Site uses proper semantic HTML and is navigable using solely a keyboard.
Site uses alt text and captions where needed, and text is screenreader friendly.
Site is functional on screens as small as 800x600 at least.

After those is the heavily recommended but not required parts:

Site is fully responsive and mobile friendly or has a mobile alternative to the site.

Site is functional up to 200% text zoom.

Site has built in switches/toggles for things like light and dark mode, different fonts, or movement and animation.

Site allows reader mode to be enabled for pages with large amounts of text such as essays, articles, blog posts.

Finally, here is a list of websites that can help you start the adventure of making a more accessable website.

Keyboard Testing This website helps you test if your website is keyboard accessable.
Enable Reader Mode This is a guide on how to enable reader mode on FireFox and Chrome.
Free Font A font designed with accessablity in mind.
ARIA Devtools A tool to show you how a screenreader will read the page.
Accessablity Checker A Firefox extension that checks the accessablity of your site for you.
How to Write Alt Text An informative guide on how to write alt text image descriptions.
PX to REM A tool to make using rem easier.

This was made with info I gathered from the Accessable Net Directory. In fact, most of it is copy and pasted. I recorded this here so I would have access incase the worst happened and it went offline. I'd highly recommend checking out their website for more information, including how to impliment these changes yourself.
