Choose a format

Start with a shared foundation

Use WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a design target while checking the version required by the laws, policies, and contracts that apply to your organization. The same principles appear across formats, but implementation and testing differ.

Learn the WCAG principles and conformance levels before using the format-specific guides.

Build accessibility into the workflow

  • Plan: identify audiences, essential tasks, content formats, and applicable requirements.
  • Create: use accessible templates and components, with meaningful structure and clear content.
  • Check: combine automated checks, manual review, and assistive technology testing.
  • Improve: fix barriers, retest affected tasks, and update shared templates.
  • Maintain: review new content and third-party changes throughout the service’s life.
