What is WCAG and why should you use it?

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is a set of guidelines and standards for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. These guidelines are developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international community of web standards organizations.

WCAG consists of a set of principles and guidelines that are designed to help make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities. The guidelines are organized into four levels of conformance: A, AA, AAA, and AAAA. Each level includes a set of specific guidelines that web developers and designers should follow to make their content more accessible.

There are several reasons why you should use WCAG:

1. To ensure that your web content is accessible to people with disabilities.

2. To comply with laws and regulations that require web accessibility

3. To improve the user experience for all users by making your web content easier to understand and use.

4. To increase the reach of your web content by making it accessible to a wider audience.

5. To improve search engine optimization (SEO) by making your web content more easily indexed by search engines.

By following WCAG guidelines, you can help ensure that your web content is accessible to people with disabilities and improve the overall user experience for all users.
