Accessibility

Accessibility or the accessibility of a website means that the website can be perceived, understood, operated, and interacted with even by people disadvantaged by their disability. Due to their disability they might not see its content or may not be able to perform common actions using a mouse. Similar barriers, although to a lesser extent (such as poor vision, shaky hands), also have to be overcome by older people, who moreover are not as proficient in using the internet and modern technologies. These users form a significant group that also wants to browse various websites, acquire new information, or shop online. Read about why and how to enable them to access and navigate the site without problems. 

WCAG 2.2 is an update to the previous version WCAG 2.1 and adds new accessibility criteria. The basic principles remain the same, divided into 4 main categories:

1. Perceivable: Content must be perceivable by all users.
2. Operable: Components and navigation must be operable.
3. Understandable: Information and operation must be understandable.
4. Robust: Content must be compatible with various technologies, including assistive devices.

We recommend proceeding in these 3 steps:

1. Accessibility Audit:
   - independently using one of the available online tools
   - professionally, by entrusting yourself to the hands of Accessibility experts at ui42
2. Implementation of changes on the website
   - our audit will offer you a comprehensive overview of problematic areas on the website, including texts, navigation, color contrast, size of active elements, keyboard operability, and media used on the web
3. Training of website administrators
   - to ensure that the implemented changes do not revert to their original state over time, we will train your employees on how to properly work with the aforementioned parts of the website
