Text Alternatives

Provide text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols or simpler language.

Website Movement

Certain timing restrictions are put in place for sliders and slideshows. Things that move, blink, scroll, auto update, etc. that starts automatically has pause/stop/hide variables linked to onscreen time.

Predictability and Input Assistance

On Focus, On Input, etc. need to have initiate changes in context as well as Error Identifications, suggestions, label instructions all need to be compliant.

Distinguishable Content

Make it easier for users to see and hear content including separating foreground from background.

Time-based Media

Captions and audio descriptions for pre-recorded and live video that you are showcasing on your website.

Understandables

Each website needs a human default language assigned and abbreviations / unusual words have their own restrictions.

Adaptable Information

Create content that can be presented in different ways (for example simpler layout) without losing information or structure.

Use of Color

Color is not used as the only visual means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element.

Seizures and Physical Reactions

Do not design content in a way that is known to cause seizures or physical reactions like flashes more than 3x a second, animations and interactions, etc.

Navigation Compliance

Focus Order, Headings and Labels, Focus Visible Locations, Section headings and more all have specific standards of compliance.

Input Labels

Make it easier for users to operate functionality through various inputs beyond keyboard. (Names in Labels, Target Size, Pointer Gestures, etc.)

Robust Compliance

Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Contrast Minimums

The visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, with a few exceptions regarding large text, logo types, and more.

Keyboard Accessibility

All functionality of the content is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes, except where the underlying function requires input that depends on the path of the user’s movement and not just the endpoints.
