Content provider's introduction and index
In this section:
- CP 1 - Aim for maximum consistency between content pages
- CP 2 - Write specifically for the web - use clear and simple language, provide 'metadata'
- CP 3 - Structure and style to maximise readability and scanning
- CP 4 - Provide accessible alternatives - don't rely on PDF/ Word
- CP 5 - Make links meaningful
- CP 6 - For all images, specify alternative text to convey equivalent information
- CP 7 - Specify full descriptions for informational images
- CP 8 - Avoid using images to display text
- CP 9 - Use the correct image for the job

Some of this will be familiar but review the information and implement it - good 'web appropriate' content is essential.
Tip: If you use a content management system, or are required to submit content in a particular template or format, read all the available documentation and help, and try the accessibility guidance out.
Whatever method you are asked to use to supply content, it should support you to deliver all of the accessibility guidance contained here (without the need for technical knowledge). If it cannot, this issue will need to be addressed.Refer those responsible for implementing your site to the guidance contained here.
