Accessibility

Check your work: validate the HTML. Use evaluation tools and text only browsers to verify accessibility.
Graphs and Charts: Summarise or use the LONGDESC attribute.
Hypertext links: use text that makes sense when read out of context. For example, do not use 'click here'.
Images and animations; use the ALT attribute to describe the function of all visuals.
Image maps: use client-side MAP and text for hotspots.
Multimedia: provide captioning and transcripts of audio, descriptions of video and accessible versions in case inaccessible formats are used.
Page organisation: use headings, list and consistent structure.
Scripts, applets and plug-ins: provide alternative content in case active features are inaccessible or unsupported.
