Creating Government Website Accessibility-Compliant Images
Government web teams ensure all images on public websites meet Section 508 accessibility standards. Images need appropriate alt text, sufficient contrast, and optimized file sizes for varied internet connections.
Workflow
- Audit existing website images for accessibility compliance
- Use the Image Resizer to create responsive image sizes for different screen widths
- Use the Image Converter to create WebP with JPEG fallbacks for broad compatibility
- Use the Image Compressor to optimize load times for users on slow connections
- Verify contrast ratios meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards for any text on images
- Update the website with optimized, accessible images and proper alt text
