Does WCAG 2.1 apply to mobile apps?
WCAG—specifically WCAG 2.1 AA—enables organizations to improve their existing web content and mobile apps in order to comply with legal requirements and make their products accessible to all.
Can a website be 100% ADA compliant?
No website is perfectly accessible for 100% of users. However, businesses must take reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of the ADA. That means eliminating barriers that are likely to affect real-life users, including digital accessibility barriers.
What is Mobile App accessibility?
“Mobile accessibility” refers to making websites and applications more accessible to people with disabilities when they are using mobile phones and other devices. WAI's work in this area addresses accessibility issues of people using a broad range of devices to interact with the web, including: phones and tablets.
What are the ADA guidelines?
The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public.
