Follow design guidelines

Design elements within websites can create access barriers if they are not built in accordance with established protocols. This section lists these design elements, outlines possible access barriers for users and provides guidelines for overcoming these. Examples and codes are provided where relevant. Practical activities are also provided to help you apply these guidelines to your web projects.

The guidelines will help you to develop accessible web content. If, despite your best efforts, you are not able to produce accessible web content, provide a link to an alternative page which provides equivalent information.
