The internet is for everyone, however accommodating for others is often forgotten. Using openness and accessibility when on the internet, is how we make it for everyone.

Openness

Why?

Like previously stated, the internet is for everyone so why not help those on the internet by sharing your ideas and methods. This allows for feedback so you can improve your work too.

How?

Make your work is free! Not hiding behind a paywall allows your work to be more accessible and it can reach larger audiences.

Accessibility

Why?

Offering accessible ways to see work on the internet means widening and diversifying your audience. Gain new perspectives and let more people find what they were looking for.

How?

Add subtitles to videos, alternative text to photos, legible fonts for those who have trouble seeing or have dyslexia. These are only a few examples, to learn more go to EARN’s 10 Tips for an Accessible Website.
