  • The use of HTML tags: HTML tags should be used appropriately to facilitate site navigation and provide clear and concise information.
  • Site navigation: the site should be easy to navigate and allow people to access all content clearly and intuitively.
  • Multimedia content: multimedia content, such as video and audio, should have captions, transcripts and descriptions so that it is accessible to all people, including those with hearing disabilities.
  • Customization options: the site should provide customization options so that people can adjust text size, contrast, etc.
