- Descriptive link text that clearly communicates the purpose and destination of links
- Keyboard-accessible navigation and interactive elements
- Sufficient colour contrast between text and background elements to enhance readability
- Clear headings, labels and page structure to support navigation

- Responsive layouts that work across devices and screen sizes
- Adequately sized touch targets for mobile and touch-screen users
- Authentication processes that are accessible and do not create unnecessary barriers
