Plain-English explanations of web accessibility terms, WCAG guidelines, and compliance requirements.
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the international standard for web accessibility, providing guidelines to make websites usable by people with disabilities.
ADA compliance for websites means making your site accessible to people with disabilities as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Color contrast is the difference in brightness between foreground (text) and background colors. WCAG requires a minimum contrast ratio so text is readable.
Alt text (alternative text) is a written description of an image that's read by screen readers and displayed when images don't load.
An accessibility audit is a comprehensive review of a website to identify barriers that prevent people with disabilities from using it.
