Accessibility Guidelines for Emails

  • Use a larger font size (11pt or larger), sans serif fonts, and sufficient white space.
  • Use built-in headings and styles.
  • Use sufficient contrast for text and background colors.
  • Make links obvious, beyond color. Avoid using your link color for unclickable text, to prevent confusion.
  • Add meaningful hyperlink text and ScreenTips.
  • Avoid text in images.
  • Include alternative text with all visuals. Use GIFs responsibly.
  • Avoid unnecessary tables.
