Overview
This guide is important in order to maintain a consistent brand personality and user experience for our website visitors across various platforms.
The new CareCredit website has been redesigned, in part, to comply with emerging regulatory requirements for accommodating website visitors with various disabilities. Each of the relevant sections of the Style Guide has been updated to indicate these changes, and providing details and links to more information, as necessary. Please not the notice below which can be seen across the styleguide and review the specifications of designing with accessibility in mind.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0)
The CareCredit Digital Style Guide has been updated to ensure that CareCredit websites are compliant to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines’ (WCAG 2.0) “AA” standard. These guidelines are designed to make the web more accessible across a variety of ADA-covered disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities and photosensitivity.
The WCAG standards specify rules for content that is visible on the screen as well as coding standards that enable assistive devices and alternate display settings invoked by the user. Designers and developers working on CareCredit websites should also familiarize themselves with the WCAG 2.0 Checklist. It provides a complete overview of the WCAG 2.0 guidelines and should be used as a reference when creating digital assets to ensure compliance.
