Good readability ensures a site will be accessible for and usable by people both with and without disabilities. Readable subtitles/transcripts will be of help to people with hearing problems and readable text in general will be of help to those with low vision or dyslexia. A rule of thumb is to use a simple and clean sans-serif font in a large font size. SPACE: Long lines are hard to read so apply a limit of 70 characters per line, if possible. For subtitles, the recommended limit is 35 characters. Provide enough space for characters to breathe - 1.5x line spacing is good. CONTRAST: Background images can obscure text, so use them sparingly. Some fonts have a border around the letters to enhance contrast, but it's better to avoid background images altogether and provide a solid background that contrasts well with the text. FONTS: Type designers have created some great, free readability-optimized fonts that you should consider depending on your audience. OpenDyslexic and Inter are good examples. Web accessibility is a vast topic that every frontend developer needs to be acquainted with for reasons discussed in my accessibility overview. There you’ll also find an overview of the key accessibility standards plus tips and best practices for building more accessible sites. This week's tip is sponsored by KendoReact.
