There are several strategies to make your emails more accessible:
Use Alt Text for Images: Adding alt text to images allows screen readers to describe the image to visually impaired users, ensuring they don't miss out on crucial information. Choose Accessible Fonts: Use fonts that are easy to read and avoid overly decorative fonts. Ensure that the font size is large enough, typically at least 14px. High Contrast: Ensure there is a high contrast between text and background colors to make the content easier to read for everyone, including those with visual impairments. Descriptive Links: Use descriptive hyperlinks that provide context about the linkâs destination. Avoid generic terms like "click here." Use Semantic HTML: Properly structured HTML helps screen readers interpret the emailâs content more effectively. Keyboard Accessibility: Ensure that all interactive elements can be navigated using a keyboard for those who cannot use a mouse. Avoid Flashing Content: Flashing images or text can cause seizures or other health issues for some users. Provide Plain Text Versions: Include a plain text version of your email for those who use screen readers or have limited bandwidth.
