Hi Community!

I'm going to start building a website for a international project down here in LatinAmerica. One of the requirements will be accesibility; to be honest, I haven't jump into this before so I need some guidance, links, module reference or any intel you guys already have in order to comply with this requirement.

This is a picture of the official list of accesibility requirements: https://we.tl/t-Y9E3xE7lzU (link expires in 7 days)

Thanks in advance to everybody.

Regards,

The picture looks like the customer wants some features to enhance content. At first glance, I suspect most of it is jquery/css and not so much CMS related.

If they are serious about accessibility, you should use https://www.w3.org/WAI/st...rds-guidelines/wcag/ as a starting point. A switch for grayscale or contrast is not needed if the design is already fit for readers that are colour blind, for instance.
The most current version is WCAG 2.1
