Web accessibility (WCAG)

Web accessibility means people with disabilities — visual, motor, auditory, cognitive — can actually use your site: readable contrast, keyboard navigation, screen-reader support, captions. WCAG is the international standard, and in many jurisdictions (including Israel) meeting it is a legal requirement, not a courtesy. Accessible engineering also tends to be better engineering: clearer structure, better semantics, faster pages.
