A plain-language guide to WCAG accessibility standards. Friendly explanations that make accessibility easier to understand, one criterion at a time.
Making the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) easy to understand, one success criterion at a time. This is a beginner-friendly guide, not a replacement for the official WCAG. See our full disclaimer . All images and other non-text content (like icons, charts, audio, CAPTCHAs, or controls) must have a descriptive text alternative that conveys their meaning. Purely decorative content can be hidden from assistive technologies (e.g. using an empty alt attribute). Prerecorded audio-only content must have a text transcript.

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them.

Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
