Context and objectives

This manual brings together all the accessibility specifications to consider when integrating HTML/CSS in a website or web application (HTML templates, CMS templates, etc.), whatever the target device for displaying the content (computer, mobile phone, etc.) to ensure WCAG 2.0 compliance.

This manual is part of a set of four complementary manuals that can be downloaded from the www.accede-web.com/en/ website:

  1. Accessibility guidelines for graphic design (to ensure WCAG 2.0 compliance).
  2. Accessibility guidelines for HTML and CSS (to ensure WCAG 2.0 compliance) (this manual).
  3. Accessibility guidelines for rich interfaces and JavaScript (Use cases to comply with France’s accessibility guidelines).
  4. Accessibility guidelines for editors (template) (template).

Warning

If the HTML/CSS development is done entirely from graphical mock-ups, the latter must respect the recommendations in the accessibility guidelines for Accessibility guidelines for graphic design (to ensure WCAG 2.0 compliance). On the other hand, if the HTML/CSS development is done partially or entirely without mock-ups, it is the Front-End Web Developer who must make sure that the recommendations for graphic design are respected.
