Accessibility & WCAG Standards
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) are the widely referenced standards that define how accessible a website should be — covering things like contrast, keyboard use, and screen-reader support. They are the benchmark most accessibility requirements point to.
Why do WCAG standards matter to your business?
WCAG is the common yardstick for accessibility, and many legal expectations reference it. Building toward these guidelines widens your audience and reduces legal risk, while also making the product clearer for everyone. Retrofitting to meet them later is far harder than building in from the start.
At Nabee, accessible practices aligned with these guidelines are part of how screens are designed and built, because the same team handles both. Contrast, keyboard support, and structure are considered during design, when they cost almost nothing.
A concrete example
Sufficient color contrast, keyboard-navigable controls, and proper alt text are all WCAG-aligned choices. Made as screens are drawn, they become part of the product rather than expensive fixes after launch.

Common questions
- Is WCAG legally required?
- Many accessibility laws reference WCAG, and expectations are rising. Building toward it is the safest, cheapest approach.
- Do I need to meet every WCAG criterion?
- The right target depends on your context. Nabee builds toward strong accessibility as a default and can go further when required.
- Is meeting WCAG expensive?
- Far cheaper built in than retrofitted, which is why Nabee considers it during design and build.
