Accessibility
Everyone deserves web access. We're committed to enhancing web accessibility.
Here at HCC Loans, we have decided to make all of our web products rich with accessibility. This started with the mandate of accessibility lessons that has provided hundreds of hours of training thus far to all of our Front-End Developers.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
WCAG is the most widely accepted international standards for accessibility. It outlays testable standards for ensuring websites are accessible for users with all types of disabilities. It is broken down into 4 normative rules: perceivable; operable; understandable; and robust. There are three levels of conformance with WCAG and we have decided to go with the most common, AA standard.
