Digital accessibility has become increasingly important in recent years, as more and more people rely on the internet to access information and services. With the release of the new Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, there is now an even greater focus on ensuring that websites and digital content are accessible to users with disabilities.
As an accessibility expert, it is crucial to stay up-to-date on the latest guidelines and best practices for creating accessible digital content.
One key aspect of the WCAG 2.2 guidelines is the focus on creating content that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. This means that content should be presented in a way that is easy for users to perceive, and should also be easy to navigate and interact with. It should be easy for users to understand the content, and it should be robust enough to work across a wide range of devices and platforms.
To ensure that digital content meets these guidelines, it is important to consider the needs of users with disabilities at every stage of the design and development process. This includes using alt text to describe images and videos for users who are unable to see them, providing clear and concise text for users who may have difficulty reading or comprehending, and designing for ease of use with assistive technologies such as screen readers and keyboard navigation.
