What is WCAG 2.0?

WCAG 2.0, or Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, is a set of guidelines developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as part of their Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). The guidelines aim to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. They cover a wide range of recommendations for making web content more perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. They are commonly used by web developers, designers, and content creators to ensure their websites and web applications are accessible to a wider audience, including individuals with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.
