What is WCAG?
ការណែនាំអំពី Web Content Accessibility Guideline
Alt Access CampaignWe often hear that a country has laws and a family has rules. But did you know that developing apps and websites has its own set of rules, too? These are the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), created by the W3C (the same organization that sets HTML and CSS standards).
The 4 Core Principles: P-O-U-R
While there are 86 success criteria in WCAG, developers can start by mastering the four foundational pillars:
- Perceivable: Can users process the information? (e.g., providing Alt Text for images and subtitles for video).
- Operable: Can users navigate your app without a mouse? Your website must be fully functional using only a keyboard.
- Understandable: Is your content easy to read? Avoid technical jargon and make your UI/UX intuitive.
- Robust: Does your code follow web standards so it works across all modern browsers and assistive technologies like Screen Readers?
Understanding WCAG Compliance Levels
WCAG is graded on three levels:
- Level A: The absolute minimum requirement for accessibility.
- Level AA: The global standard required by law in the US and Europe.
- Level AAA: The highest, most inclusive gold standard.
