Best Practice 1.5 – Do not solely rely on sensory characteristics for instructions (Advanced level)
Do not rely solely on sound, shape, size or visual location to provide user instructions.
Before Rectification In this example, it is only understandable to a person who can see that next page button. This will not be understandable to a visually impaired person. |
After Rectification The correct way to do this is to also label the button or provide a text alternative to the button and ensure clear instructions are in place to tell people which button to use and how to use it. |
