Web Accessibility (WCAG): Practical Guide to Compliance and Winning Clients

Web accessibility is no longer optional. Learn to comply with WCAG 2.2, avoid penalties, and expand your audience with inclusive design.

From June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires all digital businesses to meet accessibility standards. It's not just a legal obligation: it's a business opportunity.

According to the WHO, 16% of the global population has a disability. In Spain, that's over 4 million people.

What is WCAG?

WCAG 2.2 is based on 4 principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust. Level AA is the legal minimum.

The 10 Most Common Accessibility Errors

1. Low color contrast (83% of websites)

2. Images without alt text (58%)

3. Forms without labels (46%)

4. Non-descriptive link text

5. Inaccessible PDFs, videos without captions, skipped headings, non-keyboard-accessible elements, zoom-breaking content, unclosable popups

How to Make Your Site Accessible

Use semantic HTML, verify contrast, add alt texts, make forms accessible, test keyboard navigation.

Accessibility & SEO

Google rewards accessible websites. Semantic HTML, alt texts, and heading structure are also SEO factors.
