2. Other considerations when developing websites:

  • include a “skip navigation” link at the top of webpages that allows people who use screen readers to ignore navigation links and skip directly to webpage content; 

  • minimize blinking, flashing, or other distracting features; 

  • if they must be included, ensure that moving, blinking, or auto-updating objects or pages may be paused or stopped; 

  • design online forms to include descriptive HTML tags that provide persons with disabilities the information they need to complete and submit the forms; 

  • include visual notification and transcripts if sounds automatically play; 

  • provide a second, static copy of pages that are auto-refreshing or that require a timed-response; 

  • use titles, context, and other heading structures to help users navigate complex pages or elements (such as webpages that use frames).
