WCAG 2 Candidate Recommendation Implementation

October 14th, 2008 by Matthew Ross | 2 Comments »

This site has been designed to achieve accessibility standards. However due to a combination of unrefined standards and misreporting by testing tools, it has previously been difficult to make a clear-cut assessment of compliance with existing standards.

Many years of work by the W3C has led to the development of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 which is now in the Release Candidate process.

We have submitted this site as an example Candidate Recommendation Implementation and have performed our own self-assessment here.
