Clear and simple language
Use simple and clear language where possible.
Use headings that have meaning and that inform the reader about that section of the content. This ensures it is accessible to clients who are from non-English speaking backgrounds and those who have a learning disability.
Descriptive links
When linking to additional content, use descriptive language that informs the reader of where the link is taking them and why. Avoid “Click here” or "here".
For example:
Visit Web accessibility perspectives: clear layout and design - audio described version (YouTube, 1m53s)
Read Making the Web accessible for more information.
Open EndNote 20: Getting started for Windows (PDF, 1.1MB)
