Woohoo, we made it!
Every member of our design team at More By Us has successfully earned their WCAG 2.2 certifications. Achieving this has been a long-desired goal, reinforcing our commitment to creating inclusive and accessible digital experiences for all users.
What is WCAG 2.2?
WCAG 2.2 stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines provide a comprehensive framework for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. By achieving WCAG 2.2 certification, our team has demonstrated expertise in the latest accessibility standards, ensuring our designs are not only visually appealing but also usable by everyone.
Comprehensive Standards Covered by WCAG 2.2 Certification
Our WCAG 2.2 certification goes beyond the basics, encompassing a range of related standards and best practices that ensure thorough accessibility compliance:
- WCAG 2.1: The foundation for WCAG 2.2, covering essential accessibility features such as keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and improved mobile accessibility.
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): A critical U.S. law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Our certification ensures that our designs comply with ADA requirements, making digital content accessible to all users and helping our clients avoid potential legal issues.
- Section 508: A U.S. federal law that mandates government websites and applications to be accessible to people with disabilities. Our certification ensures that our designs comply with these legal requirements.
- EN 301 549: The European standard for accessibility, closely aligned with WCAG guidelines. This ensures our designs meet international accessibility requirements, making our work suitable for a global audience.
- Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA): Guidelines that enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and advanced user interface controls, ensuring that interactive elements are usable by everyone.
- ISO/IEC 40500:2012: The international standard corresponding to WCAG 2.0, providing a global benchmark for web accessibility and ensuring our designs remain compatible with future technological advancements.
