Ensure information on a screen has descriptive labels because they may not be experienced visually, in a viewport, or with proper graphic formatting. Phrases like “read more” and “click here” should not be used as they do not provide actual context. Items to consider when discussing info and relationships include: semantics, data tables, programming labels, group form elements, lists and headings.

Summary Points:

  • Info and their proper relationships ensure comprehension for all

  • Proper HTML headings like H1 will help screen readers

  • Use list elements (ol, ul, and dl elements) for list content

  • Voice pitch can allude to a heading such as an H1, H2, H3 for non visual

  • “Read More” and “Click Here” buttons are not inclusive

  • Include text descriptions of information since not all information can be programmed to automatically produce it

Programming Label Example:

Group Format Example <ul> :
