Best Practices for Creating Accessible Web Content
- Images & animations: Use the alt attribute to describe the function of each picture or other visual element.
- Multimedia. Provide captioning or transcripts of audio and rich descriptions with video.
- Hypertext links. Use text that makes sense when read out of context. For example, avoid "click here."
- Page organization. Use headings, lists, and consistent structure.
- Graphs & charts. Summarize information in the narrative body of the webpage.
- Tables. Make line-by-line reading sensible. Summarize.
