WCAG, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, is the international standard for making websites usable by people with disabilities. It sets out testable criteria for contrast, text alternatives for images, keyboard navigation, readable structure, form labels and media captions, grouped into levels A, AA and AAA. Following WCAG widens a website’s audience, reduces legal risk in markets with accessibility rules and usually improves usability and SEO for everyone. Many accessibility issues come from templates and components, so they are cheapest to fix during design and development. Internet Solutions builds websites and custom themes for WordPress and other content management systems, and clean structure, headings and image alt text are part of that work. The same details appear in our SEO website audits, because what helps assistive technology often helps search engines read a page too.
