Guidelines and legislation are constantly evolving and vary depending on your locality. Below are some prominent guidelines and legislation visit . Visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_accessibility for a more information.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines or '''WCAG''' for short. Is , is a set of international standards, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

===Form tables properly===Mark table headers with TH and table data with TD. Consider adding scope (col, colgroup, row, rowgroup) to headers and Also don't label buttons edit or open if there are multiple buttons on a caption. Ensure your content is machine readable by assistive technologies by utilizing the proper semantic structurespage. Also make sure you nest your tags properlyEdit what, example if you open a TR close a TRwhat, if you open a SPAN inside a TD make sure you close there are multiple buttons with the SPAN before same name how do you close the TDknow what each will do. Example:

{||+Birthdays===Table Syntax===|-! scopeIF you are using a table for display purposes indicate it with '''role="col"|Name! presentation''' and do not use caption or '''TH'''. For normal tables the headers need to have '''TH''' and table data with '''TD'''. Consider adding scope="(col"|Birthday, colgroup, row, rowgroup) to headers and a caption. Ensure your content is machine readable by assistive technologies by utilizing the proper semantic structures. Example:|-! Example: in '''TH''' tag add '''scope="rowcol"|Jackie||April 5|-! ''' or '''scope="row"|Beth||January 14|}'''.

===Declare languageNested and closing tags===The system will automatically declare the language of each system generated pageNest your tags properly, example if you open a TR close a TR, but if you add open a static page in SPAN inside a SmartFolder TD make sure you need close the SPAN before you close the TD. ===Bold and Italics===HTML 5 specification states that important text should be denoted with the '''strong''' tag not bold ('''b''' tag) and emphasized text should be denoted with the '''em''' tag not italic ('''i''' tag). Bold and I tags are not perceivable to declare the languageuser agents such as screen readers.

<pre><a hrefExample in the '''HTML''' tag add '''lang="#en" >Visit our website</a></pre>''' for English and '''lang="es"''' for Spanish and '''lang="fr"''' for French.

The contrast ratio of text to background color must be 4.5 or more to meet WCAG guidelines. You can check color combinations with this tool. these tools http://leaverou.github.io/contrast-ratio/or https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ 

===Don't only Never use color alone to convey meaning===

as a color-blind user will not be able to see the difference. Make sure any custom content has accompanying text , icons or divide the content up in another way.

===CAPTHCACAPTCHA===Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA).Is is used to ensure robots don’t spam websites with requests. But be judicious when adding CAPTCHA to your system. Although SmartSimple uses the latest reCAPTCHA which is consider accessible, it can be frustrating to all users.

If you are using the media library functionality with the multiple file upload field, or if you have injected added video into other areas of the system, you will notice videos and music do not auto play. Screen-readers navigate by listening, so any sound playing when the page loads would will interfere immensely. An exception to this is, if the user specifically requested the video.If you upload your own content or static content into your system ensure it does not auto play. Also, note that content should not flash more than three times in a second as it may induce seizures due to photosensitivityphoto-sensitivity.
