Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 is celebrating its first birthday.
Although adoption of the web accessibility standards has been pretty slow going, awareness in WCAG 2.0 is increasing and the guidelines are starting to make their way into web policy making.
One of the first governments to embrace W3C accessibility was New Zealand. In March 2009 they adopted WCAG 2.0 as a government accessibility standard (Level AA).
With governments in India, the UK, Canada and Australia following this trend in migrating from WCAG 1.0, we should see an increase in web design accessibility.
To celebrate WCAG 2.0’s first anniversary, accessibleweb will be conducting a review of each component of the web accessibility guidelines within the Perceivable, Operable, Understandable and Robust sections.
