The WCAG specification
What is EN 301 549?
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.
2.5.5: Target Size
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.
Creating Accessible PDFs
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 and 2.1.2: Keyboard and No Keyboard Trap
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.
Focus – Reading & Tabbing Order
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.
