- There is option to access the information in multiple languages.
- Fonts and colours used are easy to read etc.,
- Text alternative for non-text content is available or text to speech option is available.
- Encourage participation of diverse teams especially those from marginalised groups in design and development process of website/product.
- Provide training sessions on inclusive design principles so that the website and products are used by as many people as reasonably possible without requiring specialised adaptation
- Regularly review the website/product to fix accessibility issues.
