WCAG in Plain English

The purpose of each link must be clear; from the link text alone; without relying on surrounding context.

Related content must be organized into clear sections using headings.

When an element receives focus, it must be at least partially visible.

When an element receives focus, it must be fully visible and not covered by other content.

The visible focus indicator must be at least 2px thick, have a contrast ratio of 3:1 compared to the unfocused state, and be clearly connected to the focused element.

Actions that rely on gestures (like swiping or pinching) must also be possible using a single tap, click, or button.

Actions must not trigger on press or touch down. They must only trigger on release (like mouse-up or finger lift).

The visible text of a button, link, or form field must also be part of its accessible (programmatic) name.

If an action can be triggered by motion (like shaking or tilting the device), it must also work without motion, and be possible to turn off motion-based input.

Targets for touch or mouse must be at least 44×44px, unless they are part of a sentence or block of text, near another target with the same function that meets the size, or in a context where size can’t be increased.
