The Web Experience Toolkit (WET) is an open-source front-end framework led by the Government of Canada for building accessible, usable, mobile-friendly, and multilingual websites. It provides themeable templates, reusable components, and plugins that conform to WCAG 2.0 Level AA and leverage WAI-ARIA.
Use cases
- build an accessible government website that meets WCAG 2.0 AA
- create a multilingual website supporting 34 languages including right-to-left
- make a responsive mobile-friendly site with reusable UI components
- apply the Canada.ca theme to a Government of Canada web page
- ensure a site works with assistive technologies using WAI-ARIA
- build a themeable website with accessible templates and plugins
When to choose
- you need WCAG 2.0/2.1 AA accessibility compliance out of the box
- you are building a Government of Canada or public-sector website
- you need strong multilingual and right-to-left language support
- you want tested, accessible reusable components and templates
When to avoid
- you are building a modern SPA with React, Vue, or similar frameworks
- your project has no accessibility or multilingual requirements
- you want a lightweight minimal CSS/JS solution without government-specific theming
- you need a framework with a large commercial ecosystem and community
