Guidelines for ADA Compliance
ADA-compliant digital signage fosters an inclusive environment, allowing individuals with disabilities to access information and improves the overall user experience for everyone, regardless of their abilities.
- Use large, easily readable fonts with high contrast.
- Fonts should be clear and legible to make them easy to read.
- Allowing the text to contrast with the background colors can aid people with visual impairments.
- Text should be large and simple.
- Keep the background simple and not distracting.
- Choose solid colors for the background whenever possible.
- Avoid flashing or rapidly changing visuals.
- Keep text to a minimum.
- Include important information (such as date, time, and location of events) and use QR codes to direct viewers to more information.
- Promote one event at a time. Use individual slides for each event instead of one slide to promote several at a time.
- Try reading it out loud; if you can’t read it in 10 seconds, it’s too much text.
