What Is WCAG And Why It Matters More Than Ever
WCAG. Four letters that strike confusion into the heart of anyone trying to understand website accessibility. If you are not quite sure what they mean, you are not alone. Many businesses are still unsure about how WCAG affects them, or even whether they need to worry about it at all.
Spoiler alert: if you have a website and any part of your audience is in the EU, you absolutely do.
WCAG stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. These are the international standards for making web content accessible to disabled people. They are detailed, technical, and often misused by companies who think automated tools can tick every box. They cannot.
In our latest YouTube video, we break it down simply. You will hear where WCAG started, how it has evolved through versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.1 and now 2.2, and why this matters with the European Accessibility Act coming into force on 28 June.
You will also learn how an accessibility audit by our team of disabled testers can help you avoid expensive mistakes and get on the right side of compliance.
