WCAG Compliance

Q: How do you determine if my website is WCAG compliant?

We'll start with a comprehensive accessibility audit of your website. This involves using specialized tools and manual testing to identify any accessibility issues. Our team will then provide a report outlining the areas that need improvement to meet WCAG standards.

Q: What changes will you make to my website to ensure WCAG compliance?

The changes can vary depending on your website's current state, but they typically include adding alt text to images (which describes the purpose or content of an image to visually impaired persons), ensuring proper heading structures, improving keyboard navigation, adjusting color contrasts, and making interactive elements more accessible.

Q: How long does it take to make a website WCAG compliant?

The time required can vary based on the complexity and size of your website. A basic site might take a few weeks, while a larger, more complex site could take several months. We'll provide a detailed timeline after our initial audit.

Q: Will making my website WCAG compliant affect its design or functionality?

Our goal is to enhance your website's accessibility without compromising on design or functionality. In most cases, the changes we make will improve the overall user experience for all visitors — not just those with disabilities.

Q: What are the legal implications of not being WCAG compliant?

Non-compliance with WCAG can lead to several legal issues (including lawsuits and fines), especially in regions where accessibility is mandated by law. Ensuring your website is WCAG compliant helps you avoid these potential legal risks.

Why WCAG Compliance Matters

Our team will ensure your website meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), making it more accessible to people with disabilities. By adhering to WCAG standards, you show commitment to inclusivity for all users. Besides avoiding legal issues down the line, making your content accessible is important for building a positive brand image and reaching a wider audience.

Improved accessibility leads to a better overall user experience (UX), making your site easier to navigate. And while WCAG doesn’t directly influence Search Engine Optimization (SEO) improved UX can contribute to higher search rankings and visibility for your business as a result.
