On the 11th of December 2008, the Consortium of the World Wide Web (W3C) published the second version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.
This new standard will help designers and developers to create Web sites that consider the needs of elderly users and/or with disabilities. Based on the experience of the authors and the recommendations of the community of users, WCAG 2,0 updates the already excellent recommendations of the W3C to include new more exhaustive technologies and tests

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 covers a wide range of recommendations for making Web content more accessible. Following these guidelines will make content accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity and combinations of these. Following these guidelines will also often make your Web content more usable to users in general.
