Web accessibility - a necessity, not an option<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

In an increasingly digitalized world, where the internet has become a fundamental part of our lives, web accessibility is not just a luxury - it's an absolute necessity. At Mild, we firmly believe that everyone, regardless of ability, should have the opportunity to access digital services. This is where WCAG 2.1 and the European Accessibility Directive come into play.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

What is WCAG?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is a set of guidelines developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. This includes everything from visual and hearing impairments to cognitive limitations. WCAG 2.1 is based on three accessibility levels: A, AA, and AAA. Each level sets higher requirements for accessibility, with the AA level often considered a golden mean for most websites.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
