This session offers a foundational course in readability. You will discover 24 simple ways to make your emails, web pages, printed literature, and social media posts more readable and (therefore) more accessible.
We will explore capitals, clauses, and colour. We will discuss sentences, sizes, and sub-headings. We will investigate alignment, acronyms, and alt text.
Let 2024 be your year for readability.
