Web Accessibility Directive

 

Web Accessibility Essentials

During the MCA’s on-going monitoring work whereby public sector websites are proactively assessed on a continuous basis, it was observed that a few issues come up over and over again. To assist website owners, designers and developers to better understand what is normally required to meet the W3 WCAG criteria, a number of “Essential Guides” have been compiled that aim to simplify further the WCAG criteria requirements and as much as possible, ensure that even non-technical personnel may comprehend what is needed to create an accessible website.
