Today I am going to share my thoughts on how to make power pages portal according to the WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA Standards.
Let’s get started.
Making a Power Pages portal (from Microsoft’s Power Platform) compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA means addressing accessibility across design, content, and code. Power Pages gives you a solid starting point, but compliance depends on how you build and customise it.
Here’s a practical, structured way to get there:
1. Start with an Accessible Theme
Power Pages portals use templates (often based on Bootstrap).
Choose themes with good colour contrast
Avoid heavily customised UI that breaks semantic structure
Ensure responsive design (important for accessibility + zoom)
👉 Tip: Use tools like contrast checkers to meet 4.5:1 ratio (AA).
