ADA-Friendly Web Design: What Osprey Businesses Should Know

Accessibility sounds like a compliance chore until you watch someone try to book with your business using a screen reader. For Osprey companies, ADA-conscious web design is good service and good sense.

The big four fixes

• Real text contrast — no pale gray on white
• Alt text that describes images doing real work
• Forms with labels, not just placeholder hints
• A site you can navigate entirely by keyboard

Accessibility helps everyone

Captions help the guy on a loud job site. Contrast helps the customer in beach glare. Clear structure helps Google as much as it helps screen readers — accessible builds tend to rank well for the same reasons they read well.

We bake these standards into every build and website redesign in Osprey — it is on the inspection checklist, not an add-on.
