To do this, background <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">colors must contrast<\/span><\/strong> with the color of the texts, as well as use a font that is legible.<\/p>\n<p>It is recommended that the <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">language has to be simple and clear and the paragraphs<\/span><\/strong> short and well structured with their respective title sizes.<\/p>\n<p>It should also be taken into account that computers are no longer the most used devices, but smartphones and other smaller devices are now the ones that set the trend. That is why the <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">texts and their size must be adapted to smaller screens<\/span> <\/strong>such as those of mobile phones.<\/p>\n<h3>Add information<\/h3>\n<p>Showing all the information will help people understand the steps they need to take. For example, in forms, you can <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">use placeholders to show examples<\/span><\/strong> of how each field should be filled out. It is also <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">recommended to add texts in some sections of the app<\/span><\/strong>, forms, etc. to clarify any doubts that may exist.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">autocomplete function<\/span><\/strong> in some parts of a mobile application also allows you to create a better experience for users.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">another tip for an accessible app is the subtitles in videos<\/span><\/strong>. In this way, people with some hearing difficulty will be able to read the subtitles and know what a video is about.<\/p>\n<h3>Images and icons<\/h3>\n<p>To create an accessible app, clear and identifiable images, and icons must be used, <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">avoiding changes in color or very fast movements<\/span><\/strong>. If necessary, adding text to the images allows for describing an image for those with visual disabilities.<\/p>\n<h3>The simplicity of the processes<\/h3>\n<p>One of the recommendations that we can use to summarize the creation of an accessible app is the simplicity of the processes. After all, the fewer steps a person has to take within an app to achieve their goal, the easier it will be and the better experience they will have.<\/p>\n<p>To simplify processes,<strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\"> it is recommended to avoid having to make complicated gestures, a good structure of the texts, and an efficient architecture<\/span><\/strong> of all the contents.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-11jv5qj-b59c6e22ac46ffb8bab83c09d8be08bd\">\n#top .hr.av-11jv5qj-b59c6e22ac46ffb8bab83c09d8be08bd{\nmargin-top:10px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-11jv5qj-b59c6e22ac46ffb8bab83c09d8be08bd .hr-inner{\nwidth:100 px;\nborder-color:#c4c4c4;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-11jv5qj-b59c6e22ac46ffb8bab83c09d8be08bd hr-custom  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l2iwng9m-860b8a29c2968913e581b2ed4cf5a9d2\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-l2iwng9m-860b8a29c2968913e581b2ed4cf5a9d2 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:22px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l2iwng9m-860b8a29c2968913e581b2ed4cf5a9d2'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Get in touch with our team to develop your next project!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr ' ><a href=\"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/contact\/\" class=\"avia-button av-l2iwo69m-7f2d7b4b9d3864d442eb452096578048 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-x-large avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >GET IN TOUCH<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lhc97v-067ce9fe353c731fc44bd339f9157026\">\n#top .hr.av-lhc97v-067ce9fe353c731fc44bd339f9157026{\nmargin-top:10px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-lhc97v-067ce9fe353c731fc44bd339f9157026 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100 px;\nborder-color:#c4c4c4;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-lhc97v-067ce9fe353c731fc44bd339f9157026 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_button  avia-builder-el-last  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":15059,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[472],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-design-ux-analytics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14987\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
