Design forms for accessible use
Use clear wording, visible labels, readable contrast, and a flow that works beyond a mouse-only interaction.
Select a screenshot to enlarge it.
Steps
- Ask one clear question at a time, explain required fields, and provide specific validation guidance.
- Choose a readable theme and check zoom, narrow screens, visible focus, and keyboard order.
Long labels wrap on a narrow screen. Shorten labels or split the task when the grid becomes difficult to read. - Provide meaningful text alternatives for important images and captions or equivalent text for video and audio.
Use clear recovery instructions and test the corresponding invalid-answer states. - Test every required question, branch, upload, and final action with the assistive technology your audience uses.
Check before you rely on it
A template or theme does not establish accessibility conformance. Verify the actual form and provide an appropriate alternative route.
If you need help
When a question type cannot be completed accessibly, simplify the task and report the specific control and device.
Contact support with the relevant screen, time, and a redacted description. Keep credentials and private respondent information out of screenshots.
