Visual Adjustments

As we stated throughout the font resources, different people have different preferences and needs regarding the font of documents. Visual adjustments in your website and apps let visitors customize their experience.

The visual adjustments our experts recommend for websites and apps include the following:

  • Multiple font type/face options (sans serif, serif, OpenDyslexic, etc.).
  • Adjust the margins of the screen.
  • Change the text alignment/justification (center, left, right, etc.).
  • Change the colour scheme of the website or app.
    • Font colour (many different options)
    • Background colour (many different options)

Visual adjustments need to work properly to be effective. For example, when text is enlarged, it should scale to fit the page. If enlarging the screen pushes items together so that they overlap, that is inaccessible. Careful consideration must be given to how visual adjustments are implemented in websites and apps.
