In this article, we will explore the functionality of Excessive Accessibility by examining a specific example - Heat Mist, a brand of hot sauces by Hedonist.

What is Excessive Accessibility?

Excessive Accessibility optimizes the website layout and content structure to ensure a seamless experience for blind users.

Understanding accessibility for blind people using screen readers

When examining accessibility from the perspective of blind individuals using screen readers, it becomes evident how Excessive Accessibility can enhance their experience.

Initially collapsed, blind users can expand each menu item to explore the available categories. This enhanced functionality ensures a seamless browsing experience.

Navigating the main menu with Excessive Accessibility

Exploring the categories under the main menu

Within the expanded "Hot Sauces" category, users can find a variety of subcategories. For instance, blind users can easily locate the "Mild Hot Sauces" category. While the Perception of "mildness" may vary from person to person, blind users can trust the accessibility features provided by Excessive Accessibility to help them in their selection process.

Finding mild hot sauces and taco sauce

Within the "Mild Hot Sauces" category, blind users can explore the available options. In this case, let's say our blind user is particularly interested in finding a taco sauce.
