To make your website WCAG 2.1 compliant, follow these best practices:

  • Provide Text Alternatives – Add descriptive alt text for images and other non-text content.
  • Ensure Keyboard Accessibility – Ensure that all functionalities can be accessed via a keyboard.
  • Improve Color Contrast – Maintain a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for text and background.
  • Add Captions and Transcripts – Provide captions for videos and transcripts for audio content.
  • Enhance Focus Indicators – Ensure visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation.
  • Avoid Time-based Restrictions – Give users enough time to read and interact with content.
  • Support Responsive and Mobile Accessibility – Ensure the website works seamlessly on different screen sizes and devices.
    Regular accessibility audits and testing with tools like WAVE, Axe, and Lighthouse can help ensure compliance.
