Boost accessibility with Color Contrast Checker
December 22, 2024
Using the right color contrast ratio when building or editing your website ensures that the text is clearly legible against the background.
This has several very important benefits:
- Better accessibility - An improved readability for users with visual impairments or color blindness
- Improved user experience - Enhanced overall usability by reducing eye strain and better navigation clarity
- A boost of SEO - An overall better user experience and optimization for accessibility means search engine algorithms will rank your site higher if it includes the right color contrast ratios
When selecting colors in the Premium Site Editor, you’ll now see the new Color Contrast Ratio checker with either a failed (red X) or passing score of AA or AAA. These will let you know if the color contrast ratio of the text element you selected is good.
If you use Canva - the extremely popular graphic design tool - today's announcement is likely one you've been eagerly awaiting. Canva integration is finally here! Yes, we've had a link over to the Canva site inside accounts for a while, but now you have quick and seamless integration to Canva-created graphics directly inside your Media Library. You'll find the connection button in the Media Library, next to the Google Drive button. Do a one-time "Connect", choose your Canva account, say Yes to the required permissions, and grant access. The video above shows some screenshots to walk you through. Once you are connected, you can directly access any graphics that you've created in Canva and you can also choose to edit any existing image in Canva. The whole process is quick, easy, and seamless. Check it out and let us know what you think!
Since rolling out the Community feature in JourneyCARE, we've discovered that organizations fall into two difference preferences. There are some that want every group member to have some sort of photo on their profile and there are others that do not care about such things and just want to get people into the group with as little friction as possible. So now we've made it possible for you to toggle the photo requirement on or off based on how you'd like it to work.
