10 Ways to Make Your Site Accessible
|
| |
-
Use
the ALT attribute
For images and animations, use the alt attribute to describe
the function of each visual.
-
Handle
image maps with care
Use client-side image maps and provide an alternative
text-navigation link for each hotspot.
-
Provide
alternatives to multimedia
Provide captioning and transcripts of audio, and descriptions
of video.
-
Craft
hypertext links carefully
Use text that makes sense when read out of context. For
example, avoid "click here."
-
Organize
your pages
Use headings, lists, and consistent structure. Use Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS) for layout and style where possible.
-
Provide
alternatives to graphs and charts
Provide a text summary of them or use the longdesc attribute.
-
Don't
rely exclusively on scripts, applets, and plug-ins
Provide alternative content in case active features are
inaccessible or unsupported.
-
Address
frame complications
Use NOFRAMES and meaningful titles.
-
Make
tables readable
Make line-by-line reading sensible. Provide a caption
using the caption element and a summary using the summary
attribute. Don't use pre to create a tabular layout; assistive
technologies won't work with it.
