Frequently Asked Questions What are web accessibility standards? The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is an internationally recognized set of standards created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). They are a set of recommendations for making web content more accessible. Who benefits from web accessibility? Web accessibility is vital to ensuring that all users, including those with disabilities, can access and use websites just the same as abled users. Other benefits include improved user experience, mobile usability, SEO, site speed, and more. Having a complaint website also reduces your chances of a potentially costly and time-consuming lawsuit. How do you know if a website is accessible? To understand how your website currently stands with regards to web accessibility standards, it is recommended that you perform automated accessibility testing. This will help expedite your accessibility efforts by identifying any potential issues early, without you having to spend precious time searching through your entire site to locate them. Which set of web accessibility standards should you follow? Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, developed through the W3C process in cooperation with individuals and organizations around the world, is the most recent and relevant accessibility standard. Its goal is to provide a single shared standard for web content accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, organizations, and governments internationally. How can you include accessibility in a website? Firstly, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with accessibility requirements and international standards to the extent that you are able. Some fundamental considerations that apply across the board include ensuring that you write, design and test with accessibility in mind. It is recommended to incorporate accessibility from the very start of your projects, as this will avoid you having to go back and re-do your work. How is web accessibility enforced? While the majority of web accessibility laws are based on WCAG, the enforcement and penalties attached to these laws differs from country to country. What is a web accessibility checker? The Monsido platform provides automated audits based on WCAG guidelines in line with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the European Accessibility Act (EAA), Section 508 and many other accessibility laws and directives.
