Adapting a website to the WCAG guidelines should start with a detailed analysis of all its elements. WCAG is not only a visual change, but also an improvement in function, structure and navigation to ensure full accessibility for people with different needs, including disabilities.
The reasons for bringing a site into compliance with WCAG 2.1,2.2 guidelines determine the scope of work and the specific actions to be taken. The majority of clients who turn to us need a comprehensive change that includes adapting the code and structure of the site to meet accessibility requirements according to WCAG 2.1,2.2. The most common reasons are non-compliance with current WCAG guidelines and a site structure that makes navigation difficult for people with different needs, which is a significant problem in the context of WCAG.
As a company specialising in digital accessibility, we offer solutions that enable the creation of websites and applications that are compliant with international standards such as WCAG 2.1. Our WCAG sites provide full accessibility compliance for people with disabilities, which not only increases their reach, but also improves the user experience for all visitors.
The accessibility of the content must be intuitive and readable for all users, regardless of their skills.
The user must be able to interact with the site using a variety of input methods, such as keyboard and pointer gestures.
Our aim is to create pages that are understandable, both in terms of content and navigation.
Our solutions are adapted to different devices and platforms, ensuring reliable performance.
We offer the use of semantic HTML elements such as headings, paragraphs and lists to help organise content in a logical way. This will make it easier for users using screen readers to navigate the site. We will also ensure that the entire site is fully keyboard-navigable, which is crucial for people who cannot use a mouse. Every interactive element, such as buttons and links, will be designed with accessibility in mind, in line with WCAG 2.1,2.2 guidelines.
Our approach includes providing adequate contrast between text and background, which is essential for people with visual impairments. The text will also be readable for users with vision problems such as daltonism. In addition, all images and graphics on the site will have alternative descriptions (alt text), which is particularly important for blind people using screen readers. Our solutions are WCAG-compliant.
We create forms that are labelled and organised appropriately, allowing easy use by all users. Each form field will be labelled, making it easy to use by screen readers. For multimedia content, such as video and audio, we will ensure accessibility by adding subtitles and audiodescription. This will enable people with hearing and visual impairments to make full use of these materials, in accordance with WCAG 2.1,2.2 guidelines.
Our websites are designed with full responsiveness in mind, meaning that they will work correctly on a variety of devices and screen sizes, such as smartphones, tablets and computer monitors. We will ensure that every user has easy access to the content and functions of the site, regardless of the device used. Responsiveness is also key for people with disabilities who use assistive devices, which is in line with WCAG 2.1,2.2 guidelines.
WCAG 2.1,2.2 is based on four principles:
Alternative texts (alt-text) are important because they enable people who are blind or visually impaired to understand the content of images using screen readers. This enables these people to make full use of the internet.
Keyboard accessibility means that all elements of the website can be operated using only the keyboard, without the need for a mouse, which is important for people with motor disabilities.
Level AA is a medium level of compliance that meets most accessibility requirements. Sites complying with this level are accessible to a wide range of users and are often required by legislation in different countries.
