Accessibility feature
---------------------

Web accessibility refers to the concept that websites and website content must be accessible to anyone, regardless of how they use the internet. The Accessibility feature identifies errors on your website and helps you to fix them. This enables all visitors to use your website, regardless of their physical limitations. The Web Governance Accessibility feature is scan-based.

Some examples of alternate ways that your visitors might use the internet:

*   Screen readers
    
*   Adaptive technology, such as eye-tracking
    
*   Audio-based methods, such as verbal transcripts
    
*   Subtitles for audio content
    

The Web Governance Web Accessibility feature helps in making your website compliant with WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 A, AA, and AAA guidelines, so that the website is accessible for a wider audience.

The specifically developed Web Governance tools and technologies help you to improve your website to aid the perception, understanding, contribution, navigation, and interaction for visitors with a disability. The four principles of web accessibility are the foundations of content produced for the web and for anyone who wants to use the web. They outline that web content must be:

*   Perceivable
    
*   Operable
    
*   Understandable
    
*   Robust.
