WCAG 2.0 made easy
The book you need on web accessibility
Written by Olga Revilla
W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 have the spirit of trying to bring out a more accessible Web. This book is an elaborated summary of techniques to develop accessible websites and it is divided into 6 chapters:
- Introduction to the key elements of the Guidelines: organization, conformance leves, accessibility supported technologies, conformance claims...
- Principle 1: Perceivable. Our website can be visited by people with very different types of perceptive preferences and needs, but also by robots (search engines, automatic translators...).
- Principle 2: Operable. Web designers must be aware of the different devices the users can manage to use the website, so they must make the user interface components and navigation elements in a way that everyone can "operate" with it.
- Principle 3: Understable. If our users don't understand what we are talking about, or we make them feel lost, we have a problem.
- Principle 4: Robust. We must be aware of the evolution of the technologies to adapt our website to their new capabilities.
- Tools. You will find a useful bunch of templates and information here.
WCAG 2.0 made easy has been written in a style and language aimed to be used by web project managers, developers, information architects, interaction designers, content strategists… for a practical and learning purpose.
The prologue of this book has been written by Emmanuelle Gutiérrez y Restrepo, president of the SIDAR Seminar, the main non-profit organization on web accessibility in Spain. Part of the cost of this book will be donated in recognision on their work.
