Improving Accessibility by Adding ARIA Labels to Logos

Ensuring that your website is fully accessible to all users, including those using screen readers, is crucial. Adding an ARIA label to your logo’s link helps screen readers interpret the content properly, enhancing the browsing experience for visually impaired users. This simple step ensures that the purpose of the logo, such as linking back to your homepage, is clear and understandable to all users.

Why ARIA Labels Are Important:

• Accessibility: ARIA labels provide descriptions for elements that might not be clear to users relying on screen readers.
• Enhanced User Experience: By adding labels like aria-label="Shop's Name", screen readers can clearly communicate the function of clickable elements like logos, making navigation easier for visually impaired users.

How to Add an ARIA Label to Your Logo:

1. Navigate to Branding Settings:
   • Log into your WeSupply account and go to Settings > Branding > Pages.
2. Edit the Page Header:
   • In the Page Header section, you can modify HTML elements that control the appearance and behavior of your branding elements, such as the logo.
3. Add the ARIA Label:
   • Locate the logo link (href) and add aria-label="Shop's Name". This will ensure that screen readers can properly interpret the link and communicate its purpose to the user.

By adding this simple label to your logo, you not only improve accessibility but also ensure a better experience for all your customers, aligning with web accessibility standards.
