Make Web Content Easier to Read and Navigate

Give the page a clear structure

Use a descriptive page title and headings that explain the content underneath them. Keep the reading order meaningful when the visual layout changes. Divide long passages into focused paragraphs. People should be able to skim the headings and understand what the page offers before reading every sentence.

Write useful links and image text

Describe a link's destination rather than repeating vague wording everywhere. For informative images, provide text that communicates the relevant information in context. Decorative images should not create unnecessary announcements. If a chart carries essential findings, include those findings in nearby text as well.

Check controls without a mouse

Move through the page using the keyboard. Confirm that the current control is visible and that actions can be completed without pointer input. Check form labels and error explanations. Avoid interactions that depend entirely on hovering, because visitors may use touch, keyboards, or other input methods.

Review with several methods

Enlarge text, inspect contrast, and try a screen reader as part of a broader review. Automated checks can identify some issues but cannot determine whether every instruction makes sense. Document what you tested and what remains unresolved; a short checklist alone does not establish complete accessibility.
