These guidelines are designed to provide a single shared standard that meets the needs of individuals, organisations, and governments internationally.<\/p><p>Each guideline in WCAG relates to a certain aspect of web accessibility, for example, time-based media, text alternatives, and input assistance. Success criteria exist for each guideline, outlining how to reach different standards, or levels, of conformance. The lowest level of conformance is A and the highest is AAA, with most organisations aiming to achieve AA, a mid-level conformance.

Operable<\/h3><p>Operable refers to the user interface and navigability of a website. This key principle implies that users must be able to interact with the website interface, whether they are using a mouse, keyboard, or assistive technologies. For instance, those who are unable to use a mouse due to motor impairments may need to rely on using their keyboard to browse websites. Various website elements, like buttons and links, must therefore be reachable by keyboard alone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d8e6c83\" data-id=\"d8e6c83\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02c87cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"02c87cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>3. Understandable<\/h3><p>The third principle, understandable, is all about how easy a website is to understand, both in terms of its content and the functionality of its interface. Things like forms should have clearly labelled fields with explanations if necessary, and buttons or drop-down menus should follow a comprehensible logic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b75e14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b75e14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>4. Robust<\/h3><p>Finally, robust refers to a website\u2019s interpretability, meaning the ability for its elements to be read by a variety of different agents, including assistive technologies. The use of semantic HTML here helps ensure that content is clearly distinguishable for assistive technologies, as well as browsers, and can be interpreted correctly across different devices and platforms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-95bd105 disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"95bd105\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5e55541\" data-id=\"5e55541\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7749a37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7749a37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/5-Checker-Website-image-1024x980.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-29024\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/5-Checker-Website-image-1024x980.png 1024w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/5-Checker-Website-image-300x287.png 300w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/5-Checker-Website-image-768x735.png 768w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/5-Checker-Website-image-1536x1471.png 1536w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/5-Checker-Website-image.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cf3e83c\" data-id=\"cf3e83c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07ade17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"07ade17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"color: inherit;text-align: left\">Free WCAG Compliance Check of your Website<\/h3><p>Finding WCAG compliance issues is now easier than ever.

Accessible Image Alt Text<\/h3><p>Alt text, or alternative text, is used to describe the content of images so that it can be read aloud by screen readers for the benefit of visually impaired users. In other words, it grants access to images for those who cannot see them, which is crucial for individuals who rely on screen readers to navigate the web. Take an image of a dog in a park, for example. <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/news\/how-to-write-image-alt-text-for-accessibility\/\">Effective alt text<\/a> might read &#8220;Golden retriever playing fetch in a grassy park&#8221;, as this allows users to visualise the image accurately without needing to view it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae0bfc4\" data-id=\"ae0bfc4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efcf884 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"efcf884\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"435\" height=\"379\" src=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/ALT-text-descriptions.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-29221\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/ALT-text-descriptions.png 435w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/ALT-text-descriptions-300x261.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b265d83 disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b265d83\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-60c9f92\" data-id=\"60c9f92\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad9ebcf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ad9ebcf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>2.
