the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 improve upon W3C's groundbreaking initial standard

Highlighted by grahamperrin

WCAG 2.0 explains how to make content:

  • Perceivable (for instance by addressing text alternatives for images, captions for audio, adaptability of presentation, and color contrast);
  • Operable (by addressing keyboard access, color contrast, timing of input, seizure avoidance, and navigability);
  • Understandable (by addressing readability, predictability, and input assistance); and
  • Robust (for instance by addressing compatibility with assistive technologies).
