Web accessibility

What is web accessibility and who needs it?

Web accessibility means making websites and apps work for everyone, including people with disabilities. This includes people who are blind, deaf, have trouble moving, or think differently.

Accessly logowidget can offer user‑side adjustments (text size, contrast toggles) and quick heuristics; they can reduce friction for some users and serve as an interim aid.

Beyond ethics and inclusion, accessibility supports innovation, enhances brand, extends market reach, and reduces legal risk according to the W3C's business case, making it both a compliance imperative and a strategic advantage.

Who sets the rules

Standards and laws you must know

The core technical benchmark is WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). WCAG 2.2 became a W3C Recommendation on 5 Oct 2023 and adds nine criteria focused on low vision and cognitive support (e.g., Focus Not Obscured, Target Size, Accessible Authentication) while deprecating 4.1.1 Parsing; most current laws still reference WCAG 2.0/2.1 AA today. In the EU, the harmonized standard EN 301 549 incorporates WCAG 2.1 AA for web and software, plus additional ICT requirements; conforming to WCAG 2.1 AA is equivalent to meeting EN 301 549 clauses 9.1–9.4 and 9.6 for web ETSI EN 301 549 v3.2.1.
Public Sector: The EU Web Accessibility Directive (2016/2102) requires all public sector bodies' websites and mobile apps to be accessible, with accessibility statements and monitoring/reporting obligations in place since full effect in 2021. Private Sector/Services: The European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882) applies from 28 June 2025 to specified products and services including e‑commerce, e‑books, banking, transport service elements, AV media access services, telephony, and more, with defined exemptions and transition for existing services and terminals.
United States: DOJ finalized ADA Title II rule adopting WCAG 2.1 AA for state/local governments with compliance dates Apr 24, 2026 (50k+ population) and Apr 26, 2027 (smaller). United Kingdom: Public sector websites/apps must meet accessibility requirements; compliance monitored by GDS with enforcement by EHRC/ECNI.

Widgets/Overlays

How they can help—and their limits

Accessibility widgets can offer user‑side adjustments (text size, contrast toggles) and quick heuristics; they can reduce friction for some users and serve as an interim aid. However, overlays cannot fix many core issues programmatically (unlabeled fields, incorrect semantics, keyboard traps, improper focus, missing alt text at scale).

They also cannot deliver full conformance because achieving WCAG requires meeting all success criteria, which automated scripts cannot guarantee. [Overlay Fact Sheet]

Checkmark iconWhat widgets can help with

  • User-side contrast adjustments
  • Text size and spacing controls
  • Simple navigation enhancements
  • Basic ARIA attribute fixes

X mark iconWhat widgets cannot fix

  • Complex keyboard navigation issues
  • Semantic markup problems
  • Form labeling and validation
  • PDF, media, canvas/SVG content

Compliance solution iconThe Path to Full Compliance

To achieve genuine, legally robust accessibility, a multi-faceted approach is required, as widgets alone are insufficient. The solution involves:

  • Comprehensive WCAG Audits: Combining automated tools with expert manual testing.
  • Source Code Remediation: Directly fixing accessibility issues in the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Assistive Technology Testing: Ensuring compatibility with screen readers and other assistive tools.
  • Accessible UX/UI Design: Building accessibility into the design process from the start.
  • Ongoing Monitoring & Training: Regularly checking for new issues and educating the team.

Statistics from relevant sources

WebAIM Million (2024 report)

An analysis of the top one million websites found that 96.3% had at least one WCAG failure on the homepage.

  • Missing alt text
  • Insufficient color contrast
  • Improper heading structure
  • Missing form labels

W3C/WCAG expert estimates

Globally, only about 2–4% of sites can be considered fully accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA). In other words, roughly 96–98% are not fully accessible.
