WCAG in Plain English is a super clear, plain-language version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. You can filter by role, disability, or type of content, whatever helps you learn and explore the success criteria faster.
Hey y'all! I’m part of the team behind AAArdvark, and we’re super excited to launch WCAG in Plain English.
We built this because we kept hearing the same thing: “I know accessibility matters, but I have no idea what these guidelines actually mean.” So we took each WCAG success criterion and rewrote it in simple, approachable language. Complete with examples and tips for fixing issues on sites.
This project has been years in the making, and we hope it helps developers, designers, content creators, and website owners all feel a little more confident about digital accessibility.
Would love your feedback and hope this can become a bookmark for anyone who works on websites!
Massive kudos to the team for making something as complex as WCAG truly accessible. Turning dense compliance guidelines into actionable, plain-language tips with examples is exactly what the dev and design community needed. This will definitely live in my bookmarks. Thanks for bridging the gap between technical documentation and real-world usability!
Absolutely love this! Accessibility can feel overwhelming sometimes, and breaking down WCAG in plain English is such a helpful move for designers and devs. Great job team!
