  2. WHAT IS WCAG 2.0? WCAG 2.0 Compliance refers to the adherence to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, which are a set of international standards established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to ensure that web content is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Compliance with WCAG 2.0 involves meeting specific criteria organized under four principles: Perceivable: Ensuring that all users can perceive the information presented, such as by providing text alternatives for non-text content. Operable: Ensuring that users can operate the website's interface, such as by making all functionality accessible via a keyboard. Understandable: Ensuring that users can understand the information and interface, such as by making text content readable and predictable. Robust: Ensuring that content is compatible with current and future technologies, including assistive devices like screen readers. WCAG 2.0 Compliance is categorized into three levels: Level A: The minimum level of accessibility. Level AA: Addresses the biggest and most common barriers for disabled users. Level AAA: The highest and most complex level of accessibility. Organizations aim for WCAG 2.0 Compliance to create inclusive digital environments, avoid legal risks, and improve the overall user experience.
