New standard for web accessibility finally published
The final version of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, from the web's standards setter the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was released on 11th December, almost 10 years after the adoption of its predecessor. The time taken is in large part down to consulting widely on every stage and ensuring the standard is as generic and flexible as possible, to keep it relevant as web technologies develop.
According to E-Access bulletin, there is a wide range of implementation and explanatory guidance alongside the new guidelines, and web sites which met the WCAG 1.0 guidelines should need little or no adjustment to meet WCAG 2.0. http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/.
