W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.0 will provide a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible to users with disabilities. Following these guidelines will address many of the needs of users with blindness, low vision and other vision impairments; deafness and hearing loss; limited movement and dexterity; speech disabilities; sensory disorders; cognitive and learning disabilities; and combinations of these. These guidelines address accessibility of web content on desktops, laptops, tablets, mobile devices, wearable devices, and other web of things devices. The guidelines apply to various types of web content including static, dynamic, interactive, and streaming content; visual and auditory media; virtual and augmented reality; and alternative access presentation and control. These guidelines also address related web tools such as user agents (browsers and assistive technologies), content management systems, authoring tools, and testing tools.
The Requirements for W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.0 documentation is the next phase of development of the next major upgrade to accessibility guidelines. WCAG 3.0 will be the successor to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2 series. The Silver Task Force of the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group and the W3C Silver Community group have partnered to incubate the needs, requirements, and structure for the new accessibility guidance. To date, the group has:

WCAG 3.0’s Proposed Scoring Model: A Shift In Accessibility Evaluation — Smashing Magazine
WCAG is evolving. Since 1999, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines have defined accessibility in binary terms: either a success criterion is met or not. But real user experience is rarely that simple. WCAG 3.0 rethinks the model — prioritizing usability over compliance and shifting the focus toward the quality of access rather than the mere presence of features. Could this be the start of a new era in accessibility?

Shifting Left: The Strategic Approach to Web Accessibility
In the world of web accessibility, we often see organizations taking a reactive approach: they launch products, run accessibility audits, and then scramble to fix the issues found. While fixing accessibility problems is crucial, this reactive cycle creates a constant game of catch-up. There's a better way: shifting left.What Does "Shifting Left" Mean?The concept of "shifting left" comes from the software development lifecycle, where stages typically flow from left (planning) to right (production
Audits Are Not Enough: Understanding How to Fix Accessibility Issues for Good
Many organisations approach digital accessibility as a one-time project: audit their sites, fix the problems found, and move on. However, this mindset misses the bigger picture. True accessibility isn't achieved through a single audit-and-fix cycle—it requires fundamental changes to how organisations design, develop, and maintain their digital products.The Common Misconception: Accessibility as a ProjectWhen companies first address accessibility, they typically commission an audit, receive a rep
Digital accessibility is a human right. Yet 1.3 billion people in the world living with disability experience accessibility barriers everyday. The cost of excluding people with disabilities is high. Not only from a civil rights standpoint but also from a business perspective. People with disabilities represent the largest minority worldwide with a discretionary income in the billions. Companies risk losing customers, revenue and top talent while also facing legal risk, as digital accessibility is required by law in many countries.

Understanding the European Accessibility Act (EAA) - TetraLogical
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires that products and services made available within the European Union (EU) are accessible. Like most EU Directives, the EAA (DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/882) is hard to understand, and this has left many people unsure about what it means - and more importantly, what they need to do to make sure their products and services comply. With this in mind, we'd like to share our understanding of the EAA as it applies to digital products and services.
