Consistent Help (3.2.6 A): Place help options in the same spot on every page. Level AA (Mid-range Accessibility): Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) (2.4.11 AA): Ensure items that get keyboard focus are at least partly visible. Dragging Movements (2.5.7 AA): Provide a simple alternative to dragging actions. Target Size (Minimum) (2.5.8 AA): Ensure clickable targets are large enough or have sufficient spacing. Accessible Authentication (Minimum) (3.3.8 AA): Avoid requiring puzzles, memory tasks, or transcription for login. Level AAA (Highest Accessibility): Focus Not Obscured (Enhanced) (2.4.12 AAA): Ensure items that receive keyboard focus are fully visible. Focus Appearance (2.4.13 AAA): Use a clear, visible focus indicator. Accessible Authentication (Enhanced) (3.3.9 AAA): Avoid requiring users to identify objects or previously provided images for login. These guidelines ensure websites are accessible at various levels, catering to different user needs.
