2. Accessibility Standards and Guidelines

2.1 WCAG 2.1 Compliance

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. WCAG is developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and is the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA includes:

Level A: Basic accessibility features that are essential for some users
Level AA: Addresses the biggest and most common barriers for disabled users

Our goal is to meet or exceed Level AA compliance across our entire website.

2.2 Four Principles of WCAG

Our accessibility efforts are guided by the four fundamental principles of WCAG (POUR):

Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.

Providing text alternatives for non-text content
Providing captions and alternatives for multimedia
Creating content that can be presented in different ways
Making it easier for users to see and hear content

Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.

Making all functionality available from a keyboard
Giving users enough time to read and use content
Not designing content in a way that causes seizures
Helping users navigate and find content

Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.

Making text readable and understandable
Making content appear and operate in predictable ways
Helping users avoid and correct mistakes

Robust: Content must be robust enough to be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Maximizing compatibility with current and future user tools
Ensuring content can be parsed and interpreted reliably

2.3 Additional Standards

We also reference and consider:

Section 508 (U.S. Rehabilitation Act): Federal accessibility requirements
ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act): U.S. civil rights law
EN 301 549: European accessibility standard
ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications): Technical specifications for accessible web applications
