How can I make web animations more accessible?

To make web animations more accessible, consider using reduced motion preferences, providing text alternatives, and ensuring animations don't trigger seizures.

What are reduced motion preferences?

Reduced motion preferences allow users to opt-out of animations that may cause discomfort. You can detect this preference using the prefers-reduced-motion media query.

Can you give me an example of how to implement that?

Sure! You can use CSS like this: @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) { .animated { animation: none; } } to disable animations for users who prefer less motion.

What about color contrast in animations?

Ensure that the colors used in animations have sufficient contrast against the background to be easily visible. Use tools like contrast checkers to verify.
