It's official: WCAG in Plain English is now complete.
All 87 success criteria from WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2, including Levels A, AA, and AAA are now written in plain language and available for free.
When we started this project, we had a simple goal: make WCAG actually approachable for newcomers. The official guidelines are dense, technical, and honestly intimidating for most people trying to build accessible websites.
So we created plain-language introductions to help people get started.
• Clear explanations of what each criterion means.
• Real-world examples and practical guidance.
• Organized by role, disability, theme, and compliance level.
• Links to official WCAG documentation throughout.
• No jargon, no confusion, just useful information.
This has been a labor of love spanning 3+ years and 500+ hours from our team. We wanted to remove one of the biggest barriers to web accessibility: understanding what you're supposed to do in the first place.
This isn't meant to replace the official WCAG documentation - it's designed to help you understand it and know where to start.
Accessibility shouldn't require a decoder ring. Accessibility should be approachable, not intimidating.
The resource is free, always will be, and built for anyone who wants to make the web more inclusive. Whether you're just getting started or you've been doing this for years, we hope it makes your work a little easier.
