What is it?
Accessible digital content (webpages, presentations, shared electronic documents, emails, etc.) is information that can be read and/or interpreted by everyone, regardless of personal limitations, according to federally-mandated ADA guidelines.
Best Practices
Simple examples of best practices to help ensure accessibility include, but are not limited to:
- Using fonts large enough for visually impaired users to read
- Not using color to convey meaning (e.g., not using red for emphasis)
- Using high-contrast color schemes
- Providing closed captioning for audio or video
- Including images with properly worded "alt text" code so that all users can interpret images, even if they can't see them
