According to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C),
[WCAG] is developed through the W3C process in cooperation with individuals and organizations around the world, with a goal of providing a single shared standard for web content accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, organizations, and governments internationally. (W3C, "Introduction")
WCAG provides us with technical guidelines for making digital content accessible to users of all abilities.
Each page has a section entitled, "Accessibility Guideline." That section is divided into two main tabs (see Figure 1):
WCAG 2.1 is organized into four foundational principles of web accessibility, which are further broken down into 13 guidelines. The guidelines provide the basic goals authors should work toward in order to make content accessible to users of all abilities. Testable success criteria are provided for each guideline.
In order to meet the needs of different groups and different situations, success criteria are broken down into three levels of conformance: A (lowest; required), AA (required), and AAA (highest). Figure 2 shows WCAG organization in a flowchart.
For conformance with each guideline, you should meet both Levels A and AA at a minimum.
Each guideline outlines success criteria and includes further information for both understanding the guidelines, as well as WCAG techniques that provide guidance for web content authors and evaluators on meeting success criteria.
