There are many web development techniques that a web developer can use to make the various elements on their web page accessible to blind and visually impaired users.
One of the myth’s about Web Accessibility for the blind and visually impaired users is that making elements on a web page accessible to blind and partially sighted user requires a lot of changes to the existing HTML code, as well as lots of additional HTML code. There are some elements on a web page that will require changes to the existing HTML code and/or some additional code in order for them to be accessible to blind and visually impaired users. However in many cases making an element on a web page accessible to blind and visually impaired users does not require complex changes or lots of additional HTML code. In many cases Simply making a small change to existing HTML code or adding an additional line of HTML code can make the majority of the elements on a web page accessible to blind and visually impaired users.
