About Web Content Accessibility Guidelines


The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. Web content generally refers to the information in a Web page or Web application, including text, images, forms, and sounds. WCAG are part of a series of accessibility guidelines, including the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) and the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG). The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (WCAGWG) developed WCAG technical documents. The WCAGWC is part of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Version 2.0 of the WCAG was approved in December of 2008. This version is stable, and it is the recommended version to use for reference. Version 2.0 of the WCAG is developed to do the following:

  • To apply broadly to different technologies now and in the future
  • To be easier to use and understand
  • To be more precise when testing with automated testing tools and human evaluation
