WCAG for Developers


Understanding WCAG and ARIA for Developers


This course provides developers with a comprehensive understanding of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), focusing on making web content accessible to users with disabilities. Through practical examples and hands-on exercises, you will learn how to implement core accessibility standards, such as providing text alternatives for non-text content, adding captions to videos, and ensuring accessible audio content. Additionally, the course will introduce ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) and demonstrate how to enhance accessibility for dynamic or complex user interfaces.


You will learn:

  • What the WCAG success criteria are and why they are important.
  • How to implement each WCAG criterion in code, with examples.
  • When and how to use ARIA to improve accessibility.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the tools and knowledge to build inclusive and accessible web experiences, ensuring compliance with both Level A and Level AA WCAG guidelines.
