As inclusion increasingly becomes a fundamental aspect of life, the web is no exception. Among the standards available, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) serve as a framework for making websites and applications accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including those with visual, hearing, physical, speech, cognitive, learning and neurological impairments. In 2023, the version 2.2 of WCAG was released, while by June 28, 2025 all medium and large businesses, public institutions, and private organizations will be required to adhere to this standard.
This manual offers a comprehensive guide to the WCAG, explaining the guidelines in detail and providing practical, technical solutions for implementing accessible web content. The book also covers accessibility for eBooks and PDFs, while addressing a variety of accessibility measures, including text and audio alternatives, adaptable layouts, accessible input mechanisms, appropriate use of colours and contrasts, gesture-based interactions, inclusive hyperlink structures.
This essential resource is designed to ensure a thorough understanding of WCAG 2.2 and to support organizations in meeting accessibility standards for digital interfaces. By following the guidelines outlined in this manual, businesses and institutions can ensure that their digital content is usable by everyone, regardless of their abilities. Compliance with accessibility standards is not just about meeting legal obligations, but even more about creating an inclusive digital environment where all individuals have equal access to information and services.
