Learn how to fix common accessibility mistakes in government digital services

Even when you design using the accessibility-focused GOV.UK Frontend (as documented in the GOV.UK Design System), how you implement the frontend can create accessibility issues.

Design

• Accordions create extra work
• Avoid tabs for complex content
• Do not forget unique text for repeated actions such as ‘Change’
• Do not split up expected form groupings
• Do not use a question as a heading unless a user can answer it on the page
• Make sure that answers are connected to a question

Code

• Do not code lists as tables
• Do not forget link focus states
• Do not omit autocomplete attributes on input fields
• Do not use links in aria-described areas like hint text
