Eight simple habits to create accessible content

1. Use headings and lists to structure your document
2. Include alt text to describe all meaningful images
3. Provide captioning for videos, and transcripts for audio-only media
4. Make sure all the hyperlink text describes the target (or action) of the link
5. Avoid conveying meaning with color alone
6. Ensure foreground objects have enough color contrast against the background to be early visible
7. Use plain language, and write instructions so they don’t depend on a specific sense
8. Check your content with an accessibility checker, and follow instructions to fix errors or warnings
