Websites

Websites are most effective when content is structured, text-based, and designed for accessibility from the beginning.

Proper headings, meaningful links, sufficient color contrast, and native text ensure compatibility with screen readers, mobile devices, and translation tools.

Avoid posting PDFs or flyer-style images on webpages. Instead, publish information directly on the page using clear structure and simple language. Accessible websites are easier to update, easier to maintain, and easier for everyone to use.
