As part of our mission to support the Disability Community, SFDBA is committed to raise awareness about accessibility and drive organizations to make sure individuals with disabilities have equal access to resources and tools that support their careers, self-employment, education and well-being. Additionally, accessibility can be a game-changer for your business, increasing your customer base and brand reputation.

Some online access barriers can be easy to fix

  • Use high-contrast color combinations and readable font sizes to ensure content is easy to see for everyone.

  • Avoid blinking or flashing elements to create a seizure-safe browsing experience.

  • Present content clearly by using plain language, avoiding jargon and frustrating abbreviations, and organizing information logically.

  • Provide descriptive alt text for images and ensure consistent use of captions to support screen reader functionality.

  • Design forms, pop-ups, and interactive elements to be fully accessible via keyboard—not just mouse—so users with motor impairments can navigate with ease.
