When it comes to web accessibility, WCAG 2.1 is the international standard of reference. But what exactly are WCAG 2.1 and why are they so important for today's websites? The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are guidelines developed to ensure that online content is accessible to all, regardless of ability or disability.
WCAG 2.1 is based on four fundamental principles: perceivable, usable, understandable and robust. These principles cover all aspects of a website, from images to text, from navigation to interactions, ensuring that every element is usable even by those with visual, hearing or cognitive disabilities.
Why is it important to comply with these guidelines? Firstly, many national and European regulations, such as the European Accessibility Actare based on them. But besides legal compliance, following WCAG 2.1 means significantly improving the user experience. A site that follows these guidelines is clearer, easier to navigate and accessible to a wider audience.
