Introduction to Web Accessibility
Web accessibility is about designing both content and technology so that a website can be easily accessed by blind, visually impaired, and disabled individuals. It allows users with disabilities to access information on equal terms with all other citizens.
Who needs to comply with web accessibility rules?
The law on web accessibility applies to all public authorities and certain private companies. Generally, however, there is a trend to make web accessibility a standard practice, not only for public authorities but also for private companies. The law came into effect in Denmark and the rest of the EU on September 23, 2018, based on an EU directive.
What is WCAG?
WCAG stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. WCAG is a set of guidelines developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that form the basis for the legislation. WCAG 2.2 is expected to become part of the legislation by 2025.
