WCAG provides a set of internationally recognised guidelines for creating accessible web content. Familiarise yourself with the guidelines to ensure your service meets the necessary accessibility requirements.
Test the service using accessibility tools to identify and address any accessibility issues. These tools help simulate the experience of users with disabilities and uncover potential barriers.
Consider using screen readers, keyboard navigation, and colour contrast checkers, among other tools, to ensure your service is accessible to all users.
