Happy Wednesday! I was scrolling through LinkedIn the other day and I came across this article by Sprout Social. I found it super insightful as it discussed social media accessibility best practices and how it can help bring people together but also cause exclusion. According to Sprout Social, “Social media accessibility is the practice of designing and developing social media content and posts that provide a smooth, inclusive experience for everyone”. Today I wanted to share the 8 guidelines that are talked about in this article with you:
- Add alt text to images
- Make your text accessible
- Be mindful of emojis
- Add closed captions and subtitles to videos
- Make your visual content accessible
- Use inclusive language
- Prioritize inclusivity in your images
- Make accessibility and inclusion part of your routine
These guidelines are important to consider as non-accessible content can cause all sorts of disruptive experiences for viewers. The goal is that your social media content is accessible to everyone, no matter their physical or cognitive abilities.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic and any other guidelines you would add to this list, so please feel free to comment below! Make sure to check out the full article here for full resources on this topic. Until next time!
