According to the Web Accessibility Initiative, more than 80 percent of accessibility issues come from design choices that affect visibility, readability, and navigation. For restaurants, these issues often show up in color contrast, font selection, and layout structure. When your design is not accessible, guests cannot read your menu, complete an order, or even navigate your homepage. BYK Digital ensures your restaurant website is designed for every guest.
1. Color Contrast That Supports Visibility
Many restaurant websites use beautiful branding, but the colors often create major accessibility barriers.
Here are the most common issues:
- Light text on light backgrounds
- Low-contrast buttons that disappear on mobile
- Busy textures behind text
- Brand colors that are too bright or too muted for clear visibility
An ADA-compliant website follows specific contrast ratios so all guests, including people with visual impairments, can read your content. At BYK Digital, we adjust your palette without changing your brand identity, keeping your site beautiful and accessible.
2. Font Choices That Improve Readability
Typography plays a major role in accessibility. The wrong fonts make menus and descriptions difficult to read. Common ADA issues include:
- Thin or script-heavy fonts
- Tiny text that shrinks even more on mobile
- Inconsistent spacing between lines or paragraphs
- Overly decorative menu designs
Accessible fonts are clean, modern, and easy to read on all devices. BYK Digital selects fonts that match your style while making your menu, ordering system, and pages readable for every visitor.
3. Layout Structures That Support Easy Navigation
Good layout design is essential for screen readers and keyboard navigation. Many restaurant websites fail because their layout is visually appealing but technically inaccessible. Issues include:
- Unlabeled buttons
- Non-structured headings
- Menus placed inside inaccessible widgets
- Images used in place of text
BYK Digital structures every page so guests can navigate smoothly and screen readers can read every element correctly. This improves ADA compliance and creates a better experience for all users.
Design does more than make your website look good. It determines how easily guests can engage with your restaurant online. BYK Digital creates ADA-compliant websites that combine strong branding with full accessibility compliance.
