Worldwide Accessibility Standards.
Generally government websites follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 from the The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). They are an international community that develops many open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web.
There are different levels of compliance, and many sites aim for the “AA” standard. A quick guide to meeting the standards is easy to read and follow. Part of the standards have to do with a decent level of visual colour contrast. Many people are colour blind so a colour difference is not enough if the tones are similar. A good colour contract checker tool is “Colorsafe” but there are many other online tools out there, so pick one you like.
Here are some of the other (English) Worldwide Accessibility Standards that I’ve managed to pull together. If you have more links to offer for other countries, post them in the comment section below and I’ll add them to this article.
In many cases, if a government website does not follow their accessibility standards they are in danger of being sued by the public.
