Almanac – Accessibility Standards Guide

You’ve got a website! You’re updating it regularly! You’ve got a blog and gated content! You’re even filling out your Yoast SEO plugin and writing pages based on keywords! You’re doing all those buzz-worthy marketing best practices! And then it happens. Someone asks you what level of accessibility your site adheres to, and you’re left thinking… “Um, huh?! A good one… I hope!”

Accessibility isn’t just a buzzword, it’s essential to creating and maintaining a site that works for everyone in your target audience.

So, if you’re left wondering what makes a site accessible, about the different levels or what WCAG stands for, check out our overview of The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines by our resident accessibility expert, Randy Verbeck.

Inside, you’ll find expert explanations of some of the most pressing topics regarding accessibility, and some neat tools Randy uses to make sure we’re adhering to the WCAG AA level across all our sites.

It’s our hope that this guide helps you think about your site, and all the updates you’ll make to it, from many perspectives, and encourages you to not skip over filling out those image captions or giving some context to a “Learn More” button.
