Your partner for Web Accessibility
Helping your organisation comply with accessibility standards for websites and mobile apps
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the gold standard for creating inclusive digital experiences.
Think of WCAG as the blueprint for building an online space that everyone can access regardless of their abilities.
WCAG has three levels of compliance: A, AA, and AAA, each with its own criteria.
Understanding the basics of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
-
For example, providing text alternatives for non-text content allows screen readers to describe images to users and adding closed captions to videos.
This level also involves making all functionality available using a keyboard, empowering those who cannot use a mouse or touchscreen.
-
This includes controls for text spacing and contrast ratios to help users with visual impairments or reading challenges.
This also includes more stringent guidelines for video content such as audio description or closed captions for live content.
-
For instance, sign language interpretation for videos and even more detailed audio descriptions cater to diverse user needs. However, achieving AAA for all criteria might not be possible for all websites.
Why consider accessibility and WCAG?
Every person deserves the same opportunity to connect, learn, and grow.
However, navigating websites or mobile tools can often present challenges for people with differing abilities. This is where the power of accessibility and WCAG comes in.
At Konnektis, we champion digital inclusion — web content must be reachable to everyone, regardless of their abilities. WCAG standards are about more than just meeting a compliance requirement: it's about reaching more clients, welcoming diversity, and ensuring interaction without barriers for all.
Embracing WCAG not only makes ethical sense, but it also makes business sense too. By creating an accessible online environment, you can connect with a larger audience, raise your brand reputation and website’s visibility, and minimise potential legal hurdles related to accessibility laws. But above all, you're encouraging a more inclusive digital space where technology unites us, not divides us.
Join Konnektis in promoting more accessible websites and mobile apps, because everyone deserves access to the same online experiences.
