WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) can be hard to read and understand, and even harder to implement. It requires years of experience and close collaboration with the disabled community. Unfortunately, experts are hard to come by and they are often underpaid and underappreciated.

This collection of tips was gathered to help make understanding WCAG a little bit easier for everyone. The goal is to first make the easy stuff easy so that the experts can focus on the hard stuff. Second, and ultimately, this is to help uplift and improve the experience for people with disabilities on the internet.

When it comes to digital accessibility on the internet, everyone plays an important part. Whether you are a product manager, designer, developer, or QA tester, there is a lot you can, and should, be doing to make sure that everything you produce will support people with disabilities.

To be clear, accessibility is not a checklist or a tool, and doing everything exacly as documented here will not always guarantee an accessible, or compliant site. It's important to note that how you deliver accessibility is unique and completely dependant on your particular site content, and users.

Feedback or suggestions

True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.

This is an evergreen specialty, with new things being discovered and improved all the time. If I missed something, something is no longer relevent, or I just flat out got something wrong please let me know. Getting accessibility wrong can do a lot of damage, and I definitely do not want to contribute to that.
