WCAG 2.1

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines explain the way to make a digital product more accessible and inclusive to people with disabilities. It refers to natural information such as text, images, sounds, but also a code structure.

Accessibility issues affect us all

The diversity of people with various needs using your digital product should not be ignored when making decisions regarding the design and development of your website.

At least 18% of network users struggle with accessibility. Users with disabilities visit websites as any other web user, but more than often they are not able to gain access to all of your content.

Solving accessibility issues not only helps you expand your online audience, but also will help increase your product value for algorithms. It will increase your conversion rate and take the UX experience of your product to the next level.

How to meet WCAG standards?

We use Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) to assess possible problems and point to the right solutions.

POUR is an acronym for four principles describing functional accessibility. Accessible product is Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.

Perceivable

Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive

Operable

User interface components and navigation must be operable. Your user must be able to use your web product only by keyboard

Understandable

Page content and user interface must be easy to understand. No place for hesitating

Robust

Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies

One of the most common issues in user interfaces is low contrast, which makes content difficult to read and perceive. It affects not only users with disabilities, but it can lead every user to frustration when it comes to using the digital product in the bright sun.

When WCAG standards are met, users can read our content without disruption.

In this solution, contrast is too low. Paragraph text doesn’t pass any standards: it’s hard to read even for the user with perfect sight.
