This page collects reputable, practical references to support learning and doing accessibility work. If you’re new, start with WCAG + WAI “Understanding”, then try a short manual test with a screen reader.
WCAG 2.2 (W3C / WAI)
- WCAG 2.2 – Official specification
- WCAG Overview (WAI)
- What’s new in WCAG 2.2
- How to Meet WCAG 2.2 (Quick Reference)
Tip: Use the “Quick Reference” page to filter by level (A/AA/AAA) and by topic (forms, images, keyboard, etc.).
Understanding WCAG & techniques
ARIA & semantic HTML
Rule of thumb: prefer native HTML first. Use ARIA when necessary and only when you understand the pattern.
Manual testing (keyboard + screen reader)
- WebAIM: Keyboard accessibility
- WebAIM: Screen reader accessibility
- WAI: Evaluating Web Accessibility
Suggested approach: do your “10-minute manual review” first, then go deeper on the issues you find.
Tools (useful, but not enough by themselves)
- WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool
- Deque: axe (automated testing engine)
- W3C Markup Validation Service (HTML validator)
Automated tools are great for catching patterns. Manual testing confirms real usability.
