After completing the lesson on improving website accessibility, I understand the need of clear and concise link text descriptions to promote accessibility, and I'm assured I can employ this knowledge in my future designs.
Even so, I'm still having trouble properly checking my website for problems with accessibility. Automatic methods like the WAVE browser tool are helpful, but I understand that they might not find all accessibility issues. As explained on the "Testing Web Content for Accessibility" page, I want to get better at checking my code by hand for mistakes that automatic tools might miss.
As an instructional designer, I'm going to use the website's language feature in my work. Implementing this fairly simple action can make things a lot easier for people who use screen readers or other assistive devices to get around. By choosing the content language, I can make sure that assistive devices read and pass on the information correctly to users, which will make their online experience better overall.
