How to make web pages accessible
This guidance explains how to make web pages accessible. It helps everyone, including people with disabilities, access council information online.
Use this guidance if you create or edit content on:
- websites, including our public-facing websites, intranet and SharePoint sites
- other online council systems, including those we pay somebody else to provide
It helps make sure your web pages:
- meet accessibility requirements, so they can be used with assistive technologies such as screen readers and keyboard navigation
- adapt easily to different devices, like desktop and mobile
Getting started
To make sure you've covered everything, use our web page checklist.
