8. Semantic structure and assistive technology
Pages should use meaningful headings, landmarks, labels, link text and native semantic elements where practical. Custom controls should expose appropriate accessible names, roles, states and values, and page language and direction should be identified so assistive technologies can interpret content correctly.
9. Images, icons and non-text content
Informative images should have appropriate text alternatives, while decorative images should be implemented so they do not add unnecessary screen-reader noise. Icons used as interactive controls should have an accessible name that communicates their purpose rather than relying only on the visual symbol.
10. Audio, video and time-based media
Where Zayloft publishes prerecorded media that conveys important information, captions, transcripts, audio description or another accessible alternative should be considered according to the content and applicable requirements. Automatically generated captions may require review because inaccurate captions can materially change meaning.
12. Links, buttons and target size
Links and buttons should communicate their purpose through the accessible name and surrounding context. Interactive targets should be sized and spaced to reduce accidental activation where practical. New browsing contexts and irreversible actions should not be unnecessarily surprising and destructive actions should use an appropriate safeguard.
