Use easy-to-read texts (avoid filler words)
Meaningful naming of forms and documents

Creating alternative texts

Example element from the Typo3 backend: In the editing bar, the Media tab is highlighted with a red box in the upper image section. In the lower half of the image on the left, another red frame is placed around the text field and the title, Alternative text. — Example element from the Typo3 backend: Media, Alternative text

An alternative texthelps visually impaired people to perceive multimedia content. Therefore, a short description, e.g. of the image content, should always be provided.

This can be entered under the Media,alternative text tab.

The picture shows a red apple. It is lying on a pile of books, consisting of three books placed unevenly on top of each other. The stack of books lies on a wooden surface on the left-hand side of the picture. The background is made up of different shades of gray. — The following alternative text has been created for this image:
Apple lying on a pile of books

Link destinations

Example element from the frontend: Three text fields are shown that end with a link. Each link has "more" as the link text, which is highlighted by red boxes. — Example element from the frontend: Bad linking

Example element from the frontend: Three text fields are shown that end with a link. Each link has a link text with a more detailed description of where the link leads to, which is highlighted in red boxes. — Example element from the frontend: better linking

To note

As can be seen in the image above, there are three links with the link text "more". Identical link texts only make sense if they refer to the same content.

Linked texts must

beunambiguous
refer to the target

"Click here" etc. should not be used.

In the illustration below, a clear text with a target is linked with an indication of the target.
