What about accessibility


The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is a technical standard that provides guidelines for making digital content more accessible to people with disabilities. It is important for web designers and content creators to follow these guidelines to ensure that their websites are accessible to all users.

Today, 19% of the population has a disability and 66% of consumers expect companies to understand their unique needs.

WCAG is designed to be robust and future-proof, so that as new technologies are introduced, developers can still use WCAG to evaluate their content. Following these guidelines can remove many of the barriers that people with disabilities face when navigating a website or other digital asset.

There are several things to consider when designing a website to be WCAG compliant. Some of these include providing sufficient contrast between foreground and background, not using color alone to convey information, ensuring that interactive elements are easy to identify, providing clear and consistent navigation options, and ensuring that form elements include clearly associated labels.

In some countries, following accessibility guidelines is not just an ethical responsibility but also a legal one. It is important for designers and content creators to be aware of any relevant laws or regulations in their jurisdiction.
