Styles: Always use styles in the right order as this allows screen readers to understand the layout.
Links: Avoid "Click here" because 1) there's no meaningful text & 2) the language is exclusionary because some people will be tapping or using a screen reader to access the link

Links: Put clothes on your links (

Images: Think about the purpose of your images and use Alt Text when necessary. Can use Null for decorative images. #AEM4ALL @CAST_UDL @eyeonaxs @min_d_j

Design: Ensure text and background have sufficient contrast; use a tool like https://bit.ly/ColourContrastAnalyser

Evaluate: Use the built-in accessibility in MicroSoft products or use the Grackle Add-On for G suite, but remember to not rely on those but also think about good practice in accessibility.
