About the Creator
I first got involved in web accessibility and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 in 2011. Since then, I have learned everything I can about web accessibility - and I don't expect to ever stop learning. I'm now putting my skills to the test and helping businesses make their websites accessible. When I first read about web accessibility, I wanted to know everything and update all of my websites to AAA compliance immediately. A day later, I had scaled back my ambitions. I couldn't make head nor tail of the guidelines themselves; their sufficient criteria, endless definitions of terms I'd never heard of before, and general incomprehensibility left me bewildered. So I set out to make things better. I scoured through the techniques for every guideline and distilled all the advice down according to two simple criteria: - Was it useful advice? - Was it future-proof? From this benchmark I distilled over 700 hundred pages down to a little over 100.
