HTML Writers Guild: Twelve Required Accessibility Features of Guild Websites. The HTML Writers Guild’s policy on web accessibility requires that all official Guild sites be at least minimally accessible to our members with disabilities.

  1. Provide text equivalents for non-text elements.
  2. Don’t rely solely upon color.
  3. Identify language changes.
  4. Make sure pages are usable without style sheets.
  5. Update equivalents for generated content.
  6. Don’t make the screen flicker.
  7. Use plain, understandable English.
  8. Use client-side imagemaps, not server-side.
  9. Use HTML 4.0 table markup on data tables.
  10. Frames should have NOFRAMES and TITLEs.
  11. Don’t rely solely upon scripts and applets.
  12. As a last resort, make an alternate page.
