Improve the web accessibility

[RVA2869]

The feature

There are different levels of compliance with the WCAG standard. From A to AAA https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/conformance-logos/#wcag-22

Some things we could do:

• Add alternative text for images alt=""
• ...

Why?

This should be the standard procedure.

Do you have an example of a non presentation image? I don't think we should have any?

We can improve the web accessibility on a web page by setting-up the text-contrast ratio , using alt attribute specially for blind people , using semantic elements, etc. Give some info where to add this feature.....

We can only improve it if it is missing somewhere. If you find some place where it does, please point that out specifically so that it can be addressed.

One thing that comes to mind is the contrast (or lack thereof) of the white text on the orange background.

That's a good point. I think it might be worth exploring a design with darker orange, #d4431d

As a meta question to the original post, I think we should decide which level we strive for, and document that in the CONTRIBUTING file.

EDIT: I think this is what this issue should be all about, and the specific color contrast should be referenced in a new issue. (We want to avoid ever lasting issues that cannot easily be closed as done.)
