Quick tips to make accessible Web sites FOR COMPLETE GUIDELINES & CHECKLIST: WWW.W3.ORG/WAI 1. Images & animations. Use the alt attribute to describe the function of all     visuals. 2. Image maps. Use client-side MAP and text for hotspots. 3. Multimedia. Provide captioning and transcripts of audio, descriptions of     video, and accessible versions in case inaccessible formats are used. 4. Hypertext links. Use text that makes sense when read out of context. For     instance, do not use "click here." 5. Page organization. Use headings, lists, and consistent structure. Use CSS     for layout and style where possible. 6. Graphs & charts. Summarize or use the longdesc attribute. 7. Scripts, applets, & plug-ins. Provide alternative content in case active     features are inaccessible or unsupported. 8. Frames. Label with the title or name attribute. 9. Tables. Make line by line reading sensible. Summarize. Avoid using tables     for column layout. 10. Check your work. Validate the HTML. Use evaluation tools and text-only     browsers to verify accessibility.
