Accessibility considerations
Accessibility considerations
When designing a waste utilization website, it's important to consider the needs of all users including those with disabilities.
Contrast and Color:
Color contrast between text and background elements improve readability. Use high-contrast colors making text and images easier
to see for users with visual impairments.
Hierarchy:
Placing related items of similar importance next to each other helps to create a clear visual hierarchy. This make easier for users to scan
the page and to find information or features they are looking for.
Navigation:
Using icons can help make navigation easier. Icons represent different actions or features. Interfaces are more visually appealing
and easierto understand.
