Ticket Tailor event pages have been designed with accessibility in mind. We want as many people as possible to be able to buy tickets online so that they can enjoy your events.
Basic Ticket Tailor event pages and widgets allow people who use assistive technologies — such as a screen reader or keyboard — to buy tickets. If you’re customising your events pages, make sure your events are accessible for your ticket buyers.
Making your event page accessible helps to create an inclusive experience where everyone feels welcome. Starting with your ticketing page is a great way to enhance your guest experience from the very start.

How to make your event pages accessible
Text
Make sure your event description is easy to read and understand.
Use simple language, and include important event and accessibility details so everyone knows what to expect.
Images
Add alt text to your event image, header image, and pictures in your event description.
Alt text is a brief description of the images you upload so that screen readers can convey this to people with visual impairments. If your image has text, write out the text.
Upload high-quality, vibrant images that reflect the magnitude of your event - just remember to add alt text!
Colours
When customising your box office in the design studio, make sure there’s enough contrast between your text and background colours. This makes it easier for everyone to read, especially those with visual impairments.
Choose colours that represent your event’s vibe, while keeping accessibility in mind. Think bold, but readable.
Avoid using too many bright colours that might be hard on the eyes.
You can test your colours with a free contrast checker.
Videos
If you're adding videos to your event description, add captions. This makes them accessible to those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Captions also help people who might be watching in a noisy environment or with the sound off.
To make videos fully accessible, add a transcript and audio description to your videos, too.
Links
Instead of "Click here," use descriptive text for your links, for example, "Learn more about our event." This helps people using screen readers know where the link will take them.
