Content Accessibility Fundamentals

Learn the basics of creating accessible content and apply your skills in any content editing software.

Basics of Accessible Content

• Alternative Text
  Images and other graphical content must include alternative text to make visual content accessible to people with vision impairments.
• Color Contrast
  Make sure your content has sufficient color contrast so it's easy to read.
• Forms
  Using a form on your website? Make sure it's accessible for all users.
• Headings
  Using headings wisely helps users understand the structure of your content and easily move to sections of interest.
• Images of Text
  Avoid using images of text. Screen readers cannot read the text and enlarging the image may make the text illegible.
• Link Text
  Link text should be meaningful to users without relying on surrounding content.
• Tables
  Use tables to present data, not for visual layout. 
• Lists
  Use lists to provide order and create structure in your content.
