WCAG 3.0 Conformance Model: Moving Beyond A/AA/AAA

Introduction In the previous post, we looked at why WCAG 3.0 reorganized “Success Criteria” into “Outcomes.” This post focuses on changes to the conformance model.

The Dawn of WCAG 3.0: Why We Need New Guidelines

Introduction “Our site passed WCAG 2.1 AA 100%, but screen reader users still can’t sign up.” I keep thinking about this comment I heard at a conference last year.
