š WCAG Compliance Guide
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are internationally recognized standards for web accessibility. AccessiblyKit provides comprehensive tools and AI-powered solutions to help your website achieve and maintain WCAG compliance.
Understanding WCAG
WCAG defines guidelines to make web content accessible to people with disabilities, categorized into three levels:
- Level A: Basic accessibility features.
