The WCAG guidelines and checklists are themselves very good at helping
you keep your pages accessible.  If you even pay attention to the WCAG
table of contents, you're doing better than a lot of sites:

    1. Provide equivalent alternatives to auditory and visual content.
    2. Don't rely on color alone.
    3. Use markup and style sheets and do so properly.
    4. Clarify natural language usage
    5. Create tables that transform gracefully.
    6. Ensure that pages featuring new technologies transform
       gracefully.
    7. Ensure user control of time-sensitive content changes.
    8. Ensure direct accessibility of embedded user interfaces.
    9. Design for device-independence.
   10. Use interim solutions.
   11. Use W3C technologies and guidelines.
   12. Provide context and orientation information.
   13. Provide clear navigation mechanisms.
   14. Ensure that documents are clear and simple.
