FAQs on accessibility

1. What is WCAG Compliance?

WCAG compliance refers to adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines outline specific recommendations for making web content accessible to people with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, speech, and learning impairments. Learn more about WCAG Compliance for online forms

2. Who needs to be WCAG compliant?

While WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) compliance isn't universally mandated by law, it's crucial for various entities and organizations due to ethical considerations, legal implications, and the potential benefits it offers. Accessible forms aren't just about compliance – they're a powerful tool for businesses to reach a wider audience and build a more inclusive user base. This expands your potential customer pool and ensures everyone has an opportunity to engage with your brand.

Here are some examples of who should prioritize WCAG compliance. 

1. Government Agencies and Public Organizations:

In many countries, including the United States, government agencies and entities receiving federal funding are legally obligated to comply with accessibility standards, often referencing WCAG. This ensures citizens with disabilities have equal access to government information and services online.

2. Businesses and Organizations:

While not universally mandated by law, complying with WCAG is increasingly viewed as a best practice for businesses and organizations. This demonstrates their commitment to inclusivity and ensures their websites and online content are accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. This can:
  1. Improve brand reputation by demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity.
  2. Expand their potential customer base by making their products and services accessible to a wider audience.
  3. Mitigate the risk of legal challenges related to website accessibility discrimination.

3. Educational Institutions:

Educational institutions have a responsibility to provide equal access to learning materials and resources for all students, including those with disabilities. WCAG compliance helps ensure course materials, online platforms, and websites are accessible to students with diverse needs.

3. Can I make my existing forms accessible?

You can enable accessibility for both new forms that you are going to create or for your existing forms.

4. What are the best practices for creating accessible forms?

5. Are accessible forms compatible with screen readers?

Yes, accessibility feature is implemented to make forms usable for people who rely on screen readers.

6. Do I have to pay to be able to create accessible forms?

Accessibility feature is available in our free plans. You do not have to pay extra to use this feature.

7.Will enabling accessibility feature affect any integrations I configured in the form?

Enabling accessibility features for a form shouldn't disrupt existing integrations.
