Overview
Be a digital ally: create accessible content
We can all create accessible digital content by using plain language, readable fonts and colors, and using tools like accessibility checkers to proof our content before sharing it. In the same way that we use spell check features so our email and documents are free from spelling errors, we can use accessibility checkers to minimize accessibility errors in our content. Learn the plays below and commit to making content that is accessible to everyone.
