Making a website accessible is an ongoing process.

Accessibility must be integrated into every stage of a website's lifespan, from development and planning to content editing and quality control. All those involved in creating or maintaining a website can remove barriers by learning about the issues that make websites inaccessible. Always remember that an accessible website needs to be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust enough to be used by a variety of user agents, including assistive technology.

If you wish to upload or publish content on a University of Waterloo website, it is essential to become acquainted with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. These guidelines outline principles and standards aimed at making web content accessible to a diverse range of users, including those with disabilities.
