The importance of WCAG Compliance
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are developed through the W3C process in cooperation with individuals and organizations around the world. WCAG 2.1, the current version as of 2025, provides a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible.
WCAG Conformance Levels:
- Level A: The most basic web accessibility features
- Level AA: Deals with the biggest and most common barriers for disabled users
- Level AAA: The highest and most complex level of web accessibility
Most organizations aim for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, which is often considered the industry standard and is referenced in many legal requirements worldwide.
