Accessibility priorities

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

and how they relate to the websites designed by Boundary Products Web Design:

WCAG Priority 1

contains the checkpoints that must be satisfied, otherwise, one or more groups will find it impossible to access information in the web pages.
Satisfying this checkpoint is a basic requirement for some groups to be able to use Web documents.
All of our pages pass Priority 1. Here’s a quote from Wikipedia:

“…In April 2004 the DRC (Disability Rights Commission – UK government body) published its findings about the accessibility of 1000 UK websites and found that 81% of websites tested failed to reach basic levels of web accessibility (Level A compliance to the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)…”

WCAG Priority 2

contains the checkpoints that should be satisfied, otherwise, one or more groups will find it difficult to access information in the document.
Satisfying this checkpoint will remove significant barriers to accessing Web documents.
All of our web pages pass Priority 2.

WCAG Priority 3

contains the checkpoints that may be satisfied, otherwise, one or more groups will find it somewhat difficult to access information in the document.
Satisfying this checkpoint will improve access to Web documents.
All of our web pages pass Priority 3.
