Structured documents with clearly defined sections are easier to navigate and traverse. Headings and other structural elements add a high degree of usability to documents in any format.

Descriptive alternative text, or "ALT text", conveys the content and purpose of images in your documents. Good ALT text stands in for any images that are not visible.

Accessible data tables provide information that helps users to understand the data and stay oriented in the table.

Lists let you share information effectively and efficiently, in easy-to-understand structures.

Hyperlinks are a fundamental part of digital documents. When links are clear, evident, and understandable in context, your content is more navigable for all users.

Data visualizations transform raw data into visual formats like charts, graphs, maps, and diagrams, allowing some people to grasp patterns, trends, and relationships at a glance. Enhancing your data with features like alt text, sufficient contrast, and simplified design can make your data presentation more accessible to all.
