WCAG
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is a set of international standards developed by the W3C to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. It provides guidelines for creating websites, applications, and digital content that are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users, including those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments.
Developers should learn and apply WCAG to ensure their digital products are inclusive and compliant with legal requirements like the ADA in the U.S. or the AODA in Canada. It's essential for building accessible websites and applications, particularly in government, education, and corporate sectors where accessibility is mandated, and it improves user experience for everyone by promoting clear design and functionality.
