WCAG 2.0 and WCAG 2.1 Compliance
WCAG 2.0 stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. It is a set of technical guidelines developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to help web developers create more accessible websites and digital content for people with disabilities.
WCAG 2.1 is an updated version of the WCAG 2.0 guidelines to address additional considerations and improve accessibility for a wider range of users.
WCAG 2.0 and 21. outline specific recommendations for making web content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users with various disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
What are the three levels of WCAG 2.0 conformance?
WCAG 2.0 is organized into three levels of conformance, each representing a different level of accessibility support:
Level A (minimum):
Basic requirements ensuring that content is perceivable, operable, and understandable to some extent for users with disabilities. Examples include providing text alternatives for non-text content, ensuring keyboard accessibility, and making sure that content is readable and understandable.
Level AA (mid-range):
Improves accessibility beyond Level A, making it usable by a broader range of users with disabilities. This involves additional requirements such as providing sufficient color contrast, ensuring resizable text, and minimizing input errors. Many organizations aim for Level AA conformance as a baseline for accessibility.
Level AAA (highest):
Provides the most comprehensive accessibility features, ensuring maximum accessibility for users with disabilities. This includes advanced requirements such as providing sign language interpretations for audio content, allowing customization of text spacing, and verifying content is robust enough to work with a variety of assistive technologies.
