When creating any kind of digital content, try to follow these basics and build from there:

  • Use plain, easy-to-understand language.

  • Use headings to organize content and provide structure.

  • Add alt text for images and graphics, and choose text over an image of text.

  • Include captioning, subtitles, or transcripts for videos.

  • Follow color contrast rules, and don’t use color as the only indicator.

Implementing accessibility will vary depending on the content type and software you’re using. Learn more about how to create accessible content in the following areas.
