Improving Your Site's Accessibility

Web accessibility refers to a practice of making sure that everyone, including people with disabilities, can visit your site and use your services or enjoy your work. There are several ways to improve your site's accessibility, including preparing your images, text, graphics and site structure, as well as enabling accessibility components in your Editor. 

Includes:

1. Assign your text in the below structure.

Site title - H1 - A page should have one H1 tag only

Page Title - H2

Paragraph - P

2. Images - Add a short description to all images on the alt image text option.

3. Color Contrast Ratio - Recommended ratio between the foreground and background should be 4.5 to 1. Will try to make this so.

4. Use clear fonts - In addition, there are several rules of thumb that you should consider:

• Write your content using text elements, rather than adding an image with text in it.

• Select a font color that creates sufficient contrast with the background.

• Try to avoid using formatting (bold, italics and ALL CAPS) to emphasize information, since screen readers do not convey formatting.

• Avoid small font sizes.

5. Reducing motion

• Avoid or limit auto-play: You can set video and music players to play automatically once the page is loaded. Screen readers may find it hard to read the the site because of the media, and the audio may override the the speech of the screen reader.

• Avoid parallax scrolling: In parallax scrolling, the background and foreground move is different speeds. This effect is usually used in page background and strips, and may create accessibility issues such as problems navigating the site using a keyboard or screen reader functionality.

6. Making document files accessible.

7. Turn on the Accessibility option to allow the site to be used as an accessibility website.

​

Things to note:

• This is intended to help you make your site more accessible.

• Clifton Designs cannot guarantee or ensure that the use of our services is compliant with all accessibility laws and worldwide regulations.

• You are responsible for reviewing and complying with local legislation applicable to you or to your site visitors.

Meeting the New GDPR Requirements - 2018 Europe Law

​

The client will be responsible for setting up, installing, implementing these requirements.

 

Wix is a GDPR compliant platform. Learn how to meet the new requirements with dedicated tools for your site.

 

What Is the GDPR?

On May 25th 2018, a new European Union privacy regulation—known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—will come into effect. The aim is to protect the personal data of all EU citizens. Whatever the location of your business, if you own a website with EU visitors, or if your marketing campaigns target EU citizens, these changes affect you.

 

What Tools Will Be Available to Me?

From your dashboard, you’ll be able to handle all data requests from your site visitors—like providing access to, or permanently deleting their data. These tools will be available to Wix users by May 25th 2018.

 

How Can I Prepare for the GDPR as a Wix Site Owner?

To meet GDPR requirements, you’ll need to create a privacy policy, letting visitors know how your site processes their data—including information on cookies and other tracking technologies. You’ll also need a legal basis to handle your visitors’ data. One way to approach this is using Wix Forms or Wix Code to gain explicit consent.

 

Please note, while Wix, Clifton Designs, is providing you with tools to support GDPR requirements, it’s your sole responsibility as a site owner to act in accordance with GDPR guidelines—seeking legal advice if necessary.  Clifton Designs does not create, maintain, or give legal advice regarding GDPR.

The parties shall appoint as sole arbitrator a retired judge who presided in the State of Texas. The parties shall bear equally the cost of the arbitration (except that the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the arbitration in such an amount as may be determined by the arbitrator). All decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, security, or other equitable remedies from federal and state courts located in the State of Texas or any other court of competent jurisdiction.
