Creating Accessible Content

When working on your website, it’s important to keep accessibility in mind. Here are a few helpful reminders:

*Headings must follow a logical order.

*Format lists with the bullet or number tool.

*Links should be descriptive and behave predictably.

*Provide meaningful alternative text for images.

*Minimize use of colors, and ensure high contrast.

*Videos need captioning or a transcript.

*Tables are only for data and need a defined header row.

*Documents must follow all of the above and not be scanned.
