What is the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and what are the Guidelines?


The WAI guidelines which are widely regarded as the international standard for Web accessibility and develops support materials to help understand and implement Web accessibility. To acheive this it is very important that to acheive global web accessibility we develop resources, through international collaboration.

The World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) commitment to lead the Web to its full potential includes promoting a high degree of usability for people with disabilities. The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops its work through W3C's consensus-based process, involving different stakeholders in Web accessibility. These include industry, disability organizations, government, accessibility research organizations, and more.

WAI, in partnership with organizations around the world, pursues accessibility of the Web through five primary activities:

  • ensuring that core technologies of the Web support accessibility
  • developing guidelines for Web content, user agents, and authoring tools
  • facilitating development of evaluation and repair tools for accessibility

  • coordinating with research and development that can affect future accessibility of the Web
