Table Accessibility

Design tables that communicate structure and relationships — not just to sighted users scanning rows and columns, but to screen reader users who navigate one cell at a time.

When to Use a Table

Tables are for data that has relationships across two dimensions (rows and columns). Don't use tables for layout.

• Use a table: comparing features across products, showing schedules, displaying data with consistent categories
• Don't use a table: laying out a form, arranging cards, creating visual columns of unrelated content
