WCAG accessibility standards
Our approach
Accessibility is a core value of ours
Certified experts in WCAG 2.2 AA compliance
More than a buzzword, inclusivity plays a central role at m&h. We are committed to making the web accessible to all with no exceptions. Our entire team is trained to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards, the international guidelines that make web content accessible to all, including people with visual, hearing, motor or cognitive limitations.
Accessible content from concept to production
It’s not just lip service. Web accessibility is in our mind from the start: as we design and produce digital products like microsites, downloadable documents and time-based media (video and audio), we apply these standards end-to-end. How do we follow WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards? With inclusive design practices, accessible technologies and rigorous testing to ensure everything is compliant.
Web content accessibility for all
Accessibility is more than standards to meet, it’s the key to a smooth and positive user experience for everyone, without exception. Right, we think of everything: font size, colour contrast, alternative texts, accessible forms…It’s all factored in before we start production. Nothing but smooth sailing as we complete your project with peace of mind and authentic results. This is what guarantees the same brand experience for every user.
