WCAG 2.1 Compliance

Why is WCAG 2.1 compliance important?

Any business that has operations online should ensure its websites are accessible to everyone. The WCAG 2.1 guidelines exist to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including but not limited to visual, auditory, and cognitive disabilities. The goal is to provide a single shared standard for web accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, businesses, and organizations globally.

Here is a quick summary of WCAG 2.1 requirements with regard to accessibility:

  1. Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in a way they can perceive
  2. Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable
  3. Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable
  4. Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies
  5. Conformance: The ability to conform to the requirements of WCAG 2.1 by becoming completely accessibility supported

What are the penalties for WCAG 2.1 violations?

Private businesses and federal agencies are not required by law to be compliant with WCAG 2.1 and therefore do not have penalties for non-compliance. However, they are expected to meet certain accessibility standards and failure to do so can result in accessibility lawsuits of up to $75,000 USD. WCAG 2.1 is the gold standard for web accessibility and should be followed.
