Frequently Asked Questions

What is web accessibility and why is it important?

Web accessibility means designing and developing websites so that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with them effectively. It covers visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. Beyond ethical responsibility, accessibility is required by law in many regions and improves usability for all visitors, including those using mobile devices or slow connections.

What are WCAG guidelines and which level should I target?

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the international standard for web accessibility with three conformance levels: A (minimum), AA (recommended), and AAA (enhanced). Most organizations should target WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which is the standard referenced by most accessibility laws including the ADA and EU accessibility directives. Level AA covers contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, and form labels.

Does web accessibility affect SEO?

Yes, accessibility and SEO share many common best practices. Proper heading structure, descriptive alt text, semantic HTML, and clear navigation all benefit both accessibility and search engine optimization. Google has emphasized the importance of user experience signals, and accessible sites tend to have lower bounce rates and higher engagement, which positively influence rankings.
