Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 covers a wide range of recommendations for making Web content more accessible. Following these guidelines will make content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including accommodations for blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these, and some accommodation for learning disabilities and cognitive limitations; but will not address every user need for people with these disabilities. These guidelines address accessibility of web content on desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. Following these guidelines will also often make Web content more usable to users in general.

Introduction to Web Accessibility

Plain English is all about using clear language to make content easier to read and understand for everyone. But it's just one part of making accessible websites.

If you work in content and want to get a better grip on web accessibility essentials, I strongly recommend this introduction from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). It's very much one for your bookmarks.
