    • What’s the most valuable things to know about the image?
       
    • What does the image communicate?

Use headings to give pages a logical and systemic structure.

• H1 for page titles
   
• H2 for sections
   
• H3 to H5 for subsections

Link text should tell the user where the link will take them.

• Avoid using language like "Click here" for link text.

Use bulleted or numbered lists when describing a series of items.

• Paragraphs should be from 1 to 3 sentences.
