Overview of WCAG Principles
1. Perceivable:
Objective: Ensure that information and user interface components are perceivable to all users.
Key Guidelines:
Provide alternative text for non-text content (e.g., images, videos).
Make multimedia content accessible through captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions.
Ensure content is adaptable to different sensory abilities (e.g., color blindness).
2. Operable:
Objective: Ensure that user interface components and navigation are operable by all users.
Key Guidelines:
Provide keyboard accessibility for all functionality.
Give users enough time to read and use content (e.g., adjustable time limits).
Avoid content that could cause seizures or physical reactions.
3. Understandable:
Objective: Ensure that content is understandable and navigable for all users.
Key Guidelines:
Use clear and simple language.
Organize content in a logical and consistent manner.
Provide instructions and feedback that are easy to understand and act upon.
4. Robust:
Objective: Ensure that content is compatible with current and future user agents (browsers, assistive technologies, etc.).
Key Guidelines:
Use valid code that is compatible with assistive technologies.
Ensure compatibility across different devices and platforms.
Design content to be resilient to changes and updates.

WCAG Compliance Levels
This level addresses the most basic accessibility issues and is
the minimum level of compliance.
Level A focuses on ensuring that the most important aspects
of web content are accessible to users with disabilities.
Level AA builds upon Level A requirements and addresses the
most common barriers for accessibility.
Compliance with Level AA makes web content more
accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities.
Level AAA is the highest level of accessibility and includes all
Level A and Level AA requirements.
It provides the highest level of accessibility for users with
disabilities, but achieving Level AAA compliance can be more
challenging.
Level A: Basic Accessibility Features
Level AA: Addresses the Most Common Barriers
Level AAA: Highest Level of Accessibility
WCAG compliance defines three levels of conformance to accommodate different
needs and situations:

Improved
accessibility for all
users, including
those with
disabilities.
Benefits of WCAG Compliance
Legal compliance
and reduced risk of
litigation.
Enhanced user
experience and
satisfaction.
Expanded audience
reach and market
potential.
