Create transcripts for audio content and captions for video content.
Use plain language and provide definitions for complex terms or jargon.
Ensure all content can be navigated using only a keyboard.

Include a skip navigation link to allow users to bypass repeated content.
Ensure all form fields are clearly labeled.
Make sure error messages are clear and help users understand how to fix the problem.
Ensure all interactive elements can be used via keyboard and provide clear feedback.
Use semantic HTML to give meaning to your content and help assistive technologies understand it.
Make sure your site or app is fully functional when technologies like JavaScript are turned off.
Test your project with different assistive technologies (like screen readers) and on different devices.
Regularly test your project for accessibility issues.
