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.
