Accessible Content 
When creating content, it is important to consider the accessibility needs of your users. Accommodations include:
- Providing text captioning for videos
- Using "Alt Text" / image descriptions for images online (except for non-relevant images like page dividers)
- Avoiding the use of complex tables online
- Providing adequate color contrast, and avoid using color as the sole means of communication (for example, a chart's key that is color based may be difficult for someone with color-blindness to read)
- When creating links online, use relevant text for links and avoid generic phrases like "Click here".
For example, instead of creating a link that reads "Click here to learn more", link simplified relevant text such as "Lodging Options in Cincinnati". Screen readers will inform users with visual disabilities that a piece of text is a link / clickable.
