Tips For Accessible Writing
- Use consistent words, terms, and phrases. Synonyms are great for creative writing. They aren't great for accessibility.
- Use simple words and phrases.
- Specify the language of the page. This helps users who are using assistive technologies. It lets the tool know what language it's reading. You can do this by adding a lang attribute to the HTML tag.
- Avoid noun strings. Noun strings are clusters of nouns.
- If something's ambiguous, change it. No reference here, just my own two cents.
