The WCAG specification
Name, Role, Value is a level A success criterion under the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. It requires all user interface components that are visible to the user to have a name or label that describes their purpose or function.
According to the World Wide Web Consortium, the intent of Web Content Accessibility Guideline 3.1 is to allow text content to be read and understood by users.
EN 301 549 is the EU regulation for creating accessible websites, mobile apps, and ICT products. It was designed to make sure that people with disabilities have equal access to all digital content and products.
One of the Level AAA Success Criteria of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) states that the target for pointer inputs like buttons, links, and other clickable elements should be at least 44 by 44 CSS pixels in size.
PDFs are considered universal documents: regardless of what software or device someone is using, they will be able to open a PDF file. But this doesn’t mean they will be able to read the PDF if the necessary accessibility features are missing.
2.1.1 Keyboard and 2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap are level A success criteria in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). They are related to the use of keyboards on websites.
When we talk about focus, we are referring to the currently selected element in a graphical user interface, known as a GUI. Correct focus and reading order is an important aspect of having a digitally accessible website or app.
