What Are Common Accessibility Issues on Small Business Websites?
Many small business websites unintentionally exclude users due to basic accessibility oversights. Common problems include:
- Missing alt text on images: Screen readers rely on alt text to describe visuals
- Low colour contrast: Hard-to-read text for visually impaired users
- Non-keyboard-friendly menus: Users with mobility impairments may be unable to use a mouse
- Unlabelled form fields: This confuses both screen readers and users
- Inconsistent heading structure: Makes navigation confusing
Even simple fixes like ensuring button text is clear (“Submit” vs “Click here”) and using descriptive link text (“Learn about our services” vs “Read more”) can go a long way.
A7Designs helps business owners identify these issues early and implement effective, user-friendly solutions that improve both accessibility and SEO performance.
