An accessible portfolio is easier for everyone to use, including the hiring manager reading it on a phone on a train. These basics cover most of it.
Write real alt text
Describe what an image shows and why it matters: “Before-and-after of the restored Victorian bay window” rather than “image1”. If an image is purely decorative, leave its description empty so screen readers skip it.
Keep contrast high
Light grey text on white looks elegant and is hard to read. If you set your own accent colour, check that text on it, and links in it, stay easy to read.
Make links say where they go
“Read the case study” is better than “click here”. People using screen readers often jump from link to link, so each one should make sense on its own.
Use headings in order
Headings give a page its structure. Templates handle this for you; just keep your section titles short and descriptive.
Don’t rely on motion
Moving templates in Fuccura respect your visitors’ reduce motion setting automatically and show everything in its finished state.
Check on a phone
Most first visits now happen on a phone. Open your portfolio on yours before you share it, and use the editor’s phone preview while you work.
