Designing for blind users

Following these recommendations can help blind users use the Mongoose web client:

  • All content must be presented in a logical order. Visual users can quickly scan how a page is organized and zero in on the most important content. Blind users cannot see visual groupings on a page, so the form should be created with a logical flow that presents the most important content ahead of less important content.
  • Images should have an alternate text explanation.
  • Forms should be keyboard accessible. Check your form for logical keyboarding flow by testing it without using a mouse. Provide keyboard alternatives to mouse click events.
