What is WCAG 2.1?

The WCAG 2.1 standard is a set of recommendations that should be followed in order for the website and Internet application to meet the accessibility rules for as many devices and users as possible. The standard includes recommendations about the contrast of the site, accessibility for as many devices as possible (computers, tablets, phones, readers, etc.) and for users with certain dysfunctions.

Why is accessibility standard worth putting into practice?

Obecnie w Polsce, a także w innych krajach Unii Europejskiej wprowadzane są regulacje prawne dotyczące dostępności. Celem tych regulacji jest umożliwienie osobom z niepełnosprawnościami oraz narażonych na wykluczanie (np. seniorzy) dostęp do produktów i usług. W kwestii cyfryzacji w Polsce sytuację reguluje ustawa z dnia 4 kwietnia 2019 r. o dostępności cyfrowej stron internetowych i aplikacji mobilnych podmiotów publicznych. Natomiast docelowo owe regulacje będą dotyczyć także przedsiębiorców (bip.brpo.gov.plCurrently, in Poland, as well as in other European Union countries, legal regulations about accessibility are being put into practice. The aim of these regulations is to make it possible for people with disabilities and those exposed to exclusion (e.g. seniors) to access products and services. In terms of digitization in Poland, the situation is regulated by the Act of April 4, 2019 on digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public entities. However, these regulations will also apply to entrepreneurs.
