GovWebworks Shares 7 Best Practices for Web Content Accessibility

GovWebworks has published a new blog post titled “Tending Your Digital Garden,” offering practical guidance on maintaining accessibility in evolving web content. The article outlines seven key best practices aimed at ensuring digital spaces remain inclusive for all users, including those with disabilities.

With the 2026 ADA Title II update mandating WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for state and local governments, the post emphasises that accessibility must be an ongoing priority, not a one-time task. Recommendations include avoiding text in images, using structured headings, writing at a target reading level, and limiting PDF use in favour of accessible HTML.

David Read, a QA engineer at GovWebworks, notes that accessibility isn’t about perfection but continuous improvement. The post serves as a timely reminder for organisations to proactively manage their “digital gardens” before content creep diminishes usability.
