Accessibility Statement for ismybillfair.com

At ismybillfair.com, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We believe that all users, regardless of ability or technology, should have a fair and barrier-free experience when engaging with our services.

We are actively working to meet and maintain the standards outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, a globally recognised benchmark for web accessibility.

What is WCAG 2.2?

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), define how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. These include visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

WCAG is structured around four core principles. Content must be:

  • Perceivable – Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
  • Operable – User interface components and navigation must be operable.
  • Understandable – Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
  • Robust – Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

WCAG 2.2 builds on 2.1 by introducing new success criteria to improve accessibility for users with cognitive or learning disabilities and those using mobile devices.
