What is Section 508?

It is particularly important for federal agencies, government contractors, and organizations providing digital products or services to the federal government.

WCAG addresses accessibility requirements including keyboard navigation, screen-reader compatibility, alternative text, color contrast, captions, accessible forms, and interactive elements.
