WCAG 2.1 & 2.2 Compliance

The Foundation for All Digital Accessibility

Meet federal DOJ requirements (April 2026), Ohio IT-09 Policy, and ADA standards—all with a single WCAG 2.1 AA certification

Why WCAG 2.1 AA Is Your Baseline

Federal DOJ Requirement

ADA Title II requires WCAG 2.1 AA compliance by April 24, 2026 for state/local government entities serving 50,000+ population. No extensions.

Ohio IT-09 Policy

Ohio state agencies must meet WCAG 2.0 AA by January 2025. Build to WCAG 2.1 now to avoid remediating twice when federal requirements take effect.

Universal Foundation

WCAG 2.1 AA is the technical standard underlying Section 508, ADA, and most global accessibility laws. One certification satisfies multiple frameworks.

Don't Remediate Twice

Organizations building to Ohio IT-09's WCAG 2.0 standard today will face expensive second remediation in 16 months for federal DOJ's WCAG 2.1 requirement. Save 40-60% by building to WCAG 2.1 from the start.
