Accessibility Considerations

    Use Alternative Text for Images (e.g., Alt="multi-color")

    Allow for Text Zooming to avoid overlapping of texts, form fields, etc.
        Use CSS rather than tables for layout
        Do not use explicit width and height for fields
        Provide sufficient space between columns
        Use generous, legible font sizes
        For text images, use at least 18pt (24px)

    Users must be able to resize text up to 200% or more without loss of functionality

    For focus, show border or outline around focus element

    Content should be usable thru keyboard (e.g., shortcuts) and not just thru mouse navigation

    For focus order, allow sequential navigation thru the content

    Make sure there's color contrast (see WeAIM.org for free color contrast checker)

    Any blinking or scrolling content that lasts more than 5 sec must provide user with ability to pause, stop or hide it
