Content Accessibility Fundamentals

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

  • Alternative Text
    6/1/26
    Images and other graphical content must include alternative text to make visual content accessible to people with vision impairments.
  • Color Contrast
    6/1/26
    Make sure your content has sufficient color contrast so it's easy to read.
  • Headings
    6/1/26
    Using headings wisely helps users understand the structure of your content and easily move to sections of interest.
  • Link Text
    6/1/26
    Link text should be meaningful to users without relying on surrounding content.
  • Lists
    6/1/26
    Use lists to provide order and create structure in your content.
  • Tables
    6/1/26
    Use tables to present data, not for visual layout. 
  • Images of Text
    6/1/26
    Avoid using images of text. Screen readers cannot read the text and enlarging the image may make the text illegible.
  • Forms
    6/1/26
    Using a form on your website? Make sure it's accessible for all users.
