What does it do?

It helps you create a WCAG-compliant form by suggesting steps to follow to resolve any issues that are not WCAG-compliant.

What are WCAG compliances?

Many websites and applications that we frequently use, such as Instagram, YouTube, and Amazon, require us to complete a sign-up form when creating an account. However, the ability to effectively complete a web form is often overlooked. We see sign up and registration forms daily, but rarely question the design process and how people with disabilities access those forms. In other words, was the form designed for accessibility?

This is where the WCAG guidelines step in to help you create a signup form that is easily accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities. WCAG stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. A website, web application, or even signup form that is WCAG-compliant has been created in a way that makes it accessible to people with visual, auditory, cognitive, and physical disabilities.

 

 

The guidelines cover a wide range of issues, including color contrast, text alternatives for images, and more. To create a WCAG-compliant form, it is necessary to follow its instructions, and at that point, Klaviyo’s accessibility assistant steps in.

Meeting WCAG guidelines can also improve the overall user experience and conversion rate of a signup form. Many countries have laws and regulations requiring websites and web applications to be WCAG-compliant so that even disabled individuals can access and benefit from them.

List :

Klaviyo’s accessibility assistant helps you make the necessary changes to your signup form to comply with WCAG instructions and make your form easily accessible to everyone. Take the following things into your consideration while designing your signup form.

 

6 ways to make signup form accessible:

• Make sure your form is keyboard accessible — Make sure forms can be used by people who can only navigate your website by keyboard.
• Image Alt —  Second, provide text alternatives for any images used in your form. This is important for people who use screen readers or have visual impairments.

 

• Add contrasting colors — Contrasting colors allow users with visual impairments to identify what fields need to be completed. Using tools that test your website’s contrast ratios are a great way to determine if the colors that you’ve used are appropriate, and make adjustments if there are any inconsistencies.

• Use labels with form fields and inputs — Ensure that any grouping of form controls are related, so fields are easily understood. Screen readers generally navigate using keyboards, and all form labels are read to them as they go through the form. This means that any fields that aren’t labeled will be skipped. So, try to use LABEL rather than only placeholder.

 

• Simple Language — Avoid using technical terms or jargon that might be confusing.
• Use reminder text with labels — This is most helpful for those with cognitive disabilities. When a user has gone to search for information that’s required in an input field (e.g., customer number, email), they may forget that the field was for their customer number — this is why placeholder text isn’t efficient for all users. Reminder text should be placed beside the text field label.
