“Chunk” writing, don’t have paragraphs or sentences be too long
Use empty space between paragraphs and sections
Have a consistent hierarchy in alignment of bullets and format headers
Use bullet points wherever you start writing “list”-like sentences
Use contrasting fonts for headers (e.g., bold, different font, different font size)
Consistency: repeating design features throughout can help cue an audience
Use parallel structure in sentences for predictable reads
Navigation: use headers, bullets, hyperlinks, etc. to help make navigation around your document a bit easier.
Use image descriptions for people who have trouble seeing (screenreaders can read the text of an image description for people who have issues seeing)
Make sure color is not the only way meaning is made for a given item (i.e., for colorblind people)
Hyperlinks should be understandable outside their immediate context (e.g., “link to 2018 Oscar winners” better than “click here”). For people who use screenreaders, sometimes these have a function to list all links at the end and audibly say them out loud. If user wants to go to the link, hearing “click here” out of context is unhelpful. Thus, embedding links into text that carry forward some of the context is helpful.
