WCAG Guide: How to Make Your Website Accessible to Everyone

Problem: 

The internet is a big part of our lives. We use it for work, school, shopping, and staying in touch with friends and family. But not everyone can use the web easily.

People with disabilities often face barriers that make it hard for them to access information and services online. This is where the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) come in.That’s where WCAG—the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines—comes in.

What is WCAG?

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are rules developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines aim to make websites usable for everyone, including people with disabilities. WCAG focuses on four main areas:

1. Perceivable:

Content should be presented in ways people can notice, whether they’re using their eyes, ears, or touch.

2. Operable: 

Everyone should be able to navigate and interact with the website.

3. Understandable: 

Information should be easy to read and use.

4. Robust:

Websites should work with various devices, including assistive tools like screen readers.
