Accessibility Best Practice

Spacer images, decorative images, bullets and icons should always be assigned null ALT text (alt="").

Ensure link text is descriptive of the destination. Link text such as 'click here' does not make sense when taken out of context.

Always provide a descriptive page title as it is the very first item that the screen reader user will hear.

Make font sizes relative and not fixed so users with partial or poor sight can enlarge it.
