| − | '''Inputs need a label'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example: On the login page the inputs have labels. On the signup page each input also has a label. For custom fields the label name will be the same as the caption; if there is no caption, the label will take the name of the field. Labels are automatically added for inputs by the SmartSimple system.

| − | '''Images need alternate text'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example: Your logo is given an alternate text tag. The custom field “Display Only – Image” will give uploaded images an alternate text tag. The tag will take the name of the caption and if no caption is present it will take the field name. Alternate tags are added automatically for logos and display only images.

| − | '''Language needs to be declared'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example: Language is declared in pages (lang="fr" for French , lang="en" for English ). This is automatically added to pages and it changes dynamically when the user changes their language.
| |

| |
| − | '''Use descriptive names for links'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example: When including links in your content, use text that properly describes where the link will go. Using "click here" is not considered descriptive, and is ineffective for a screen reader user. Link names are customizable in SmartSimple.
