AcceDe Web, delivering accessibility

We are happy to announce the English version of AcceDe Web guidelines .
AcceDe Web is a joint initiative to create open source basis detailed instructions for making websites accessible, written for the first time from the perspective of each of the key stakeholders involved in web site development (designer, front-end developer, rich-interface developer, project manager etc).

Those guidelines aim at making WCAG easier to understand and implement.

The project includes representatives of disabled people associations, accademic institutions, 10 of France’s leading companies, web agencies and web professionnals. It is coordinated by Atalan, a consultancy specialized in eAccessibility and disability awareness. More about the AcceDe Web initiative .

AcceDe Web has published the 4 following guidelines :

1. Graphic design accessibility guidelines (to ensure WCAG 2.0 compliance)
2. HTML/CSS accessibility guidelines (to ensure WCAG 2.0 compliance)
3. Accessibility guidelines for rich interfaces and JavaScript
4. Editorial accessibility guidelines (template)

Together, these 4 manuals also provide a web accessibility tool for project managers across the project lifecycle.
