Deep dive ## Four Pillars of Accessible Design These four areas help create a clearer, more usable experience for people using assistive technologies or visual accessibility settings. ### WCAG 2.2 WCAG 2.2 is the W3C’s global standard for accessible web content. It defines testable criteria and Level A requirements, guiding teams to design and evaluate inclusive digital experiences. ![WCAG 2.2 accessibility features shown on a web form with a hand selecting a contrast friendly keypad.](https://www.bolddesk.com/wp-content/external/cdn-bolddesk/website/images/July%2020/keyboard%20accessibilty.webp) ![Screen reader compatibility accessibility features shown with web page content connected to a speaker icon.](https://www.bolddesk.com/wp-content/external/cdn-bolddesk/website/images/July%2020/screen-reader-compatibility.webp) ### Screen Reader Compatibility Screen reader compatibility helps digital content work clearly with screen-reading tools so users can understand content, controls, and interface updates. WCAG is designed to improve access across disabilities—including blindness and low vision—using requirements that help assistive technologies interpret content and behavior. ### WAI‑ARIA WAI‑ARIA provides roles, states, and properties that help assistive technologies understand widgets, structure, and behavior—especially in dynamic interfaces and custom components. It improves accessibility and interoperability of web applications by exposing meaningful semantics to assistive technologies. ![WAI ARIA accessibility features shown on a web UI with labeled controls and semantic settings panel](https://www.bolddesk.com/wp-content/external/cdn-bolddesk/website/images/July%2020/accessible%20interface.webp) ![High contrast dark theme accessibility features with a dark UI window and a positive feedback icon.](https://www.bolddesk.com/wp-content/external/cdn-bolddesk/website/images/July%2020/dark-theme-support.webp) ### Dark Theme Support High-contrast themes improve legibility by using stronger foreground/background separation—often with dark backgrounds and light text—making interfaces easier to use for people with low vision and color-vision deficiencies. WCAG includes success criteria focused on contrast and distinguishability to improve readability and usability.
