WCAG 2.2 : Designers' Handbook

Every time I attended a webinar as a speaker or as a listener, I saw comments stating ‘WCAG is hard’ or ‘We need a simplified version of WCAG’ and so on. As a CPACC-certified designer, I decided to simplify those for designers.

A study found out that when the team considered accessibility right from the design stage, they saw a 67% drop in compliance issues found during testing.

The conventional WCAG quick reference is complicated and written as a series of success criteria. This document, however, focuses on prescriptive ways to ensure that you achieve said success criteria. I have been a designer for over a decade and have been contributing to the field of accessibility for the last five years. This document is the essence of all that I have learned and implemented.

This document covers the basics, and guides designers about "what needs to be done". The WCAG 2.2 database is filterable based on compliance levels, the disabilities they cater to, and which team is accountable for making a mobile app accessible. This way instead of going through the whole WCAG, the teams can focus on what they can control!
