Comparing PDF Accessibility Standards Between WCAG 2.2 and WCAG 3.0
The digital world is becoming more inclusive, and our platform is leading the way. We're excited to announce that our design tool is now fully compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.0, setting a new standard for accessible design.
WCAG 3.0, currently in development by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Accessibility Guidelines Working Group, will focus on a broader range of disabilities, including cognitive and learning disabilities. Unlike its predecessor, WCAG 3.0 plans to do away with a binary pass/fail system and adopt a more nuanced rating system based on rating scales and percentage ratings.
Our platform is equipped with a WCAG 2.2 AA checklist to ensure every aspect of a design is compliant. It includes features such as a WCAG compliant Color Contrast Checker, easy tagging of text elements, and the setting of a logical reading order. This makes it easier for designers to create accessible designs that cater to a wide range of users.
But that's not all. Our platform also offers a library of free ADA and WCAG-compliant templates to help designers get started. These templates serve as a solid foundation for accessible designs, saving designers time and effort.
One of the standout features of our platform is the integrated visual stimulator. This tool allows designers to understand how their content appears to users with visual impairments, enabling them to make adjustments to enhance accessibility while designing.
Moreover, our platform also includes an AI-powered alt text generator for images and charts. This ensures that every visual element on a design is accompanied by descriptive alternative text, making it accessible to users who use screen readers or have visual impairments.
Perhaps the most significant advantage of using our platform is that it ensures designs are WCAG 3.0 compliant before exporting as PDF. This is crucial for legal compliance, greater reach, and brand reputation in today's digital landscape.
With 2.2 billion people worldwide living with visual impairments, it's more important than ever to prioritise accessibility in design. By using our platform, designers can create inclusive designs that cater to a wider audience, contributing to a more accessible digital world.
WCAG 2.2 was adopted as the new accessibility standard in October, and WCAG 3.0 is expected to replace WCAG 2.2 as the accessibility standard in the future. Our platform is at the forefront of this change, ensuring that your designs are always up-to-date with the latest accessibility standards.
