In this post, we will focus on accessibility of your Drupal website. Usually, this important point is overlooked during the web site design & development. An accessible website makes it universal and it is an essential aspect too. Web accessibility supports social inclusion for people with disabilities as well as others, such as: - older people - people in rural areas - people in developing countries   You can improve content of your site by choosing correct structure, background and text colours and Link colours. You can test your website for accessibility over [https://web.dev/measure](https://web.dev/measure) or give a try to colours to check the contrast using [https://webaim.org](https://webaim.org). These are free tools.   ### Contrast Checking To pass WCGA 2 Level AA, it requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, and a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 for graphics and user interface components (such as form input borders). Level AAA requires a contrast ratio of at least 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text.   ![Drupal Webaim Accessibility Constrast Checker | Joshi Consultancy Services](https://e.joshics.in/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/webaim-constrast-checker-Joshi-Consultancy-Services.png?height=450&name=webaim-constrast-checker-Joshi-Consultancy-Services.png) ### Link Contrast checker As the name suggest, you should use the link colours with higher contrast ration to text and background colours of your web page/site.
