The lesson
Add alt text to visuals, set a logical tab order, use sufficient colour contrast and never rely on colour alone to convey meaning.
Use clear titles and data labels so the report reads well without hovering.
Create a mobile layout with the key visuals stacked vertically, since many managers read reports on phones.
Step by step
- Add alt text to each visual.
- Set the tab order.
- Check colour contrast.
- Build and test the mobile layout.
