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.
