The following quick tips for making accessible Web sites is provided by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI):

• Images and animations. Use the ALT (alternative) attribute to describe the function of all visuals.
• Image maps. Use client-side MAP (image map processor) and text for hotspots (active regions in images containing links or other types of interactivity).
• Multimedia. Provide captioning and transcripts of audio, descriptions of video and accessible versions in case inaccessible formats are used.
• Hypertext links. Use text that makes sense when read out of context. For example, do not use "click here."
• Page organization. Use headings, lists and consistent structure. Use CSS (cascading style sheets) for layout and style when possible.
• Graphs and charts. Summarize or use the longdesc (long description) attribute.
• Scripts, applets and plug-ins. Provide alternative content in case active features are inaccessible or unsupported.
• Frames. Label with the tilte or name attribute.
• Tables. Make line-by-line reading sensible. Summarize. Avoid using tables for column layout.
• Check your work. Validate the HTML (hypertext markup language). Use evaluation tools and text-only browsers to verify accessibility.

These tips are only key Web accessibility concepts. To be compre hensive in your design, it is important to look at the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines themselves at http://www.w3.org/WAI.
