The WCAG guidelines cover things like contrast, font size, image descriptions and keyboard navigation. An accessible website is better for all visitors.
What does this mean in practice?
Digital accessibility means everyone can use a website comfortably, including people who are visually impaired or blind, people with limited mobility and older people. The standard is called WCAG. It covers things like contrast, font size, image descriptions and keyboard navigation.
Why does this matter for your business?
An accessible website is more pleasant for every visitor. Since 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) has set accessibility requirements for a growing number of businesses in the EU. It's also a positive signal for search engines.
Examples and best practices
- Make sure there is enough contrast between text and background.
- Give images alternative text.
- Make sure the entire site can be operated with a keyboard.
- Give every form field a clear label.
