Accessibility Tips:
Check text size and alignment: To make your site easy to read, use large, left-aligned text when possible. Justified text is more difficult to read because of extra space between the words.
Use text to support formatting: It’s best not to rely on visual formatting alone to communicate meaning. Screen readers might not announce formatting changes, such as boldface or highlighting. For example, to mark an important section of text, add the word “Important.” Use numbered and bulleted lists:
Use headings to organize your site: Headings are formatted with built-in heading styles, not changed through font size and formatting. Levels of heading are accurate and should not be skipped.
