Use tables sparingly
While tables can be an effective way to display data, they should not be your default choice. This is primarily because they’re often difficult for people who are using screen readers to absorb. Also consider people who might be using a mobile device – often the formatting isn’t compatible.
Consider simpler alternatives first.
Lists: Lists are excellent for presenting sequential or unordered information. They are straightforward and easy for both sighted users and those who rely on screen readers to navigate. For example, consider putting your agenda in a bulleted list rather than a table.
Paragraphs of text: A well-structured paragraph can convey information more effectively than a table. Use headings, bullet points, or numbered lists within a paragraph to enhance readability.
