| WUHCAG – Checklists for WCAG WUHCAG | 3rd-party resource or guideline | It’s extremely useful to have a WCAG 2.0 checklist to hand when you’re working through the guidelines. A WCAG 2.0 checklist helps you to check your web accessibility progress, record how far you’ve come and set your targets for the future. Wuhcag addresses “holistic web accessibility” – that means taking everything about your website into account. There are three checklists, with links to articles about each guideline. They’re also available as PDFs via a book purchase. The checklists are organized by WCAG level. If you’re attacking the guidelines in order (as suggested), you’ll move from Level A (Beginner) through Level AA (Intermediate) and on to Level AAA (Advanced). |
| WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices 1.1 – W3C World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) | 3rd-party resource or guideline | WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices is a guide for understanding how to use WAI-ARIA 1.1 to create an accessible Rich Internet Application. It describes considerations that might not be evident to most authors from the WAI-ARIA specification alone and recommends approaches to make widgets, navigation, and behaviors accessible using WAI-ARIA roles, states, and properties. This document is directed primarily to Web application developers, but the guidance is also useful for user agent and assistive technology developers. It provides guidance on the appropriate application of WAI-ARIA, describes recommended WAI-ARIA usage patterns, and explains the concepts behind them. Languages used to create rich and dynamic web sites, e.g., HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and SVG, do not natively include all the features required to make sites usable by people who use assistive technologies (AT) or who rely on keyboard navigation.
