WCAG in Plain English - Web content accessibility guidelines made easy by AAArdvark
by•
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!

@divyansh_tiwari7 Thanks so much! That's exactly what we were hoping for - to make accessibility a little less overwhelming and a lot more doable. Really appreciate the kind words and support.

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!
