This UX Accessibility Blog Series, “Setting Up An Accessible Web Page,” will walk you through the basic elements of an accessible web page in hopes that you can take what you’ve learned and apply it to more complex pages. This blog series is loosely based on Heydon Pickering’s book “Inclusive Design Patterns: Coding Accessibility Into Web Design.”
Page footers give the user additional information, usually about the company, such as copyright information, privacy statements, and terms of use. The footer of the page is denoted in <footer> tags in HTML5. According to the HTML5 specification, <footer> carries the implicit role of contentinfo as long as it isn’t a descendent of an <article> or <section> element. However, it is important to explicitly add the role=”contentinfo” attribute because Internet Explorer does not fully support it. This may seem redundant, but it is the best practice to do this until all browsers fully support HTML5 and its accessibility features.
