When creating documents or web pages, there are some standards for accessibility that should be followed.
Background and text colors must contrast sufficiently to increase readability for a variety of readers.
Using appropriate header styles in all documents and web pages for headings, as opposed to bold or enlarged font, helps screen readers understand the layout and importance of pages and documents.
Headers probably won’t be discernable in a PDF that is a scan of a print resource.
Hyperlinks need to be regularly checked and maintained, as web content moves. The link itself should be descriptive of its content instead of the URL.

Images must have text alternatives that describe the information or function represented by them. This ensures that images can be used by people with various disabilities.
Forms are commonly used to provide user interaction on websites and in web applications. For example, login, registering, commenting, and purchasing. This tutorial shows you how to create accessible forms. The same concepts apply to all forms, whether they are processed client or server-side.
Aside from technical considerations, users usually prefer simple and short forms. Only ask users to enter what is required to complete the transaction or process; if irrelevant or excessive data is requested, users are more likely to abandon the form.
Data tables are used to organize data with a logical relationship in grids. Accessible tables need HTML markup that indicates header cells and data cells and defines their relationship. Assistive technologies use this information to provide context to users.
