Web accessibility refers to a set of regulations, practices, coding standards, and design principles that allow people with disabilities to use websites effectively. It is estimated that approximately 20% of the world's population has some form of disability. To facilitate their access to websites, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has developed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1). Governments worldwide have adopted these guidelines and integrated them into various laws such as the ADA, Section 508, and EN 301549, among others.
The WCAG 2.1 guidelines offer direction to developers on how to create accessible websites. They concentrate mainly on three areas of accessibility: screen-reader users who are blind, keyboard-only users with motor disabilities, and other disabilities such as color blindness, epilepsy, and minor visual impairments that affect the website's UI and design, including color contrasts, animations, fonts, and more.
