To structure your content efficiently, the correct use of headers is necessary.
Helpful Use of Color and Graphics

Alt Tag Images

There are other more ways to let your website be accessible to various kinds of visitors. When making your content, accessibility should be one goal to strive for, so you will be accessed and understood at the same time more conveniently.
