WCAG 2.1 is a recommendation/standard defined by W3C to make web content more accessible. AA is the level of accessibility. WCAG 2.1 AA means meeting the WCAG 2.0 and WCAG 2.1 guidelines for level A and AA. Contrary to popular belief, there is no certification for WCAG compliance. However, competence can be certified and Quickchannel has employees IAAP Web Accessibility Specialist certified to fully understand and meet the guidelines.
