WCAGstöðlum

WCAGstöðlum refers to guidelines and standards for accessibility in web development and digital media, specifically in relation to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The term is primarily used in Icelandic and may be translated to English as "WCAG standards" or "WCAG guidelines."

WCAGstöðlum provide a framework for ensuring that digital products, including websites and mobile applications, are accessible to people with disabilities and can be used by users with varying abilities and needs. These guidelines are based on four principles of accessibility:

* Perceptible information: digital content must be perceivable by users through different senses, such as sight, hearing, and touch.

* Operable controls: digital interfaces must be operable by users with mobility, dexterity, or other impairments.

* Understandable information: digital content must be understandable to users with varying levels of literacy and cognitive abilities.

* Robustness: digital content must be robust and compatible with current and future technologies.

The guidelines also categorize accessibility into three levels of compliance: A ( highest level), AA (middle level), and AA-Opt (lowest level). The goal of WCAGstöðlum is to provide a detailed framework for making digital products accessible and user-friendly for a diverse user base.

In recent years, digital accessibility has become increasingly important due to the growth of the web, e-commerce, and digital services. WCAGstöðlum serve as a critical component in ensuring that digital products are accessible and usable for all users, independent of their abilities.
