We are working on building website for blind and low visibility people to access all the elements in web pages.

Answer 1

"Why Facebook is blue -- six facts about Mark Zuckerberg - CNN.com" http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/social.media/09/20/zuckerberg.facebook.list/index.html

Mark Zuckerberg might have some insight into this…

He is color blind !!!🤔

Answer 2

Faisal I think he is asking a question on guidance for WCAG a.k.a. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

If you haven't already done so, start with that website.

Don't forget to include accommodations for color blindness. You might also want to search the web for many great UX design approaches for implementing the WCAG.

Here are a few I just pulled up:

Answer 3

David Carroll Oh! I must've missed that, thanks for pointing it out!

Suresh Bushipaka
Sorry for me jumping to conclusions and assuming you were in the wrong right away. I'll remove the mfd from your post immediately. Best of luck with your website!

Answer 4

Thanks for that reality check David Carroll. One of these days I will get some common sense about reading articles in greater depth before assuming pseudo expertise 😉 .

Answer 5

Sonic That same common sense was shared by so many developers for many years and the needs of those with impairments went unmet. 😉

There's actually a lot more effort to making a website accessible which is why much of the web is still not accessible.

Here are some interesting articles on this.

Answer 6

Thanks! David Carroll

Answer 7

That's ok Mr. Faisal

Answer 8

Without knowing much about accessibility for the differently abled and not having read those links, common sense tells me that for those with poor vision, use larger fonts; for the blind, use a text to speech system; for the deaf, use the equivalent of alt attributes of anchor tags.

Answer 9

Mr. Sonic you are right in your sense.
But it will not works for all type of disabilities.
Thanks for your response.

Answer 10

It's true
thanks for your response Mr.Sanjay Kamath
