We can help you with accessibility<\/h2>\n

Why? What happened?<\/strong>
\nThe updated Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 is approved.<\/p>\n

Since when?<\/strong>
\n5th October 2023<\/p>\n

What’s changed?<\/strong>
\nThere are nine new success criteria (2 Level A; 4 Level AA; 3 Level AAA), plus some new terms and information about privacy and security.<\/p>\n

What does this mean?<\/strong>
\nIf you haven’t already, now is the time to find out what to do so you can be confident your online presence is accessible for all users. The guidelines are an international standard for web content, and a legal requirement in most countries. If you are not meeting the minimum standard you may be putting yourself at risk of litigation, or worse, preventing users from accessing the same content everyone else can.<\/p>\n

What changes will I have to make?<\/strong>
\nKeep meeting the standard for WCAG 2.1. It is still valid. And begin making changes to implement the additional criteria.<\/p>\n

The new success criteria<\/h2>\n

Here is a list of the new success criteria.<\/p>\n
