Definition of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are a set of standards developed to ensure that digital content, like websites and applications, is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. These guidelines provide a framework with recommendations and criteria for making online content more perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users who may have visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, or other disabilities. Adhering to WCAG helps developers and designers create web content that is inclusive and usable for a diverse audience.
