When creating new web content, create with accessibility in mind first, not as an afterthought.
How to plan for accessibility:
- Become familiar with types of barrier to access. You can also familiarize yourself with WCAG web accessibility guidelines.
- Make a plan. Define and document your goals and strategy. Think about accessibility at all stages, not a last-minute checklist.
- Know your audience and make your site inclusive for all.
- Plan the structure of your website – does your navigation make sense?
- Examine your content. Do you need to rewrite or reorganize any text to make it more accessible? Are there a lot of images that need alt text? Do your videos have closed captioning?
