OCEANSIDE, Calif. – Honest Medical has updated its e-commerce website with thousands of health care products to make it more accessible for people with disabilities. The company made the updates in accordance with new Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility standards. “At Honest Medical, we believe everyone deserves equal access to the medical supplies they need to live healthy lives,” said CEO Mike Greenan. “That’s why we’re thrilled to announce these significant enhancements that ensure our website is fully compliant with ADA accessibility standards.” Features of the website include tagging elements with button functionality to aid assistive technology like text-to-speech screen readers; adding alt text to images and fields that describe meaning and context so those with visual impairments can enable assistive technology; improving menus and dropdowns to coordinate assistive technology; and scaling font sizes and increasing letter spacing to aid those with learning disabilities like dyslexia. The ADA standards outline best practices for making web content more accessible, including ensuring users can navigate a website using the keyboard rather than a mouse; having heading structure that enables users with accessibility tools to easily navigate a site; and making sure all images have captions.
