About WCAG Made Simple

Having spent a large chunk of my career in the public sector, accessibility wasn't optional. It was the job.

Finding developer-friendly accessibility resources proved difficult. The official WCAG spec from W3C was dense. While the spec had code examples, they lacked approachability and depth. Always the what (the code example), rarely the how (a screen reader demonstration) or the why (the reasoning behind an example's structure).

Even my own workplace's internal accessibility office struggled with this. They couldn't easily demonstrate screen reader behaviour, or explain why one ARIA attribute was the right call over another similar-seeming one. Static content was well covered, but dynamic content was viewed as a wild west.

After years of slogging through this gap and building the knowledge myself, I thought surely there must be a better way to teach this information to developers.

Enter WCAG Made Simple, an education platform built so developers can suffer less and learn more efficiently.

Every article is paired with a GitHub code example and a YouTube walkthrough showing how the code actually performs with a real screen reader, closing that how-and-why gap the spec left open.

Written with metaphor but always with substance, so UX designers and product managers can follow an article's purpose even when the technical details aren't their forte.

Accessibility isn't about chasing a flawless compliance checklist. It's about steady, meaningful improvements that make the web better for everyone.

An accessible web is a better web for all of us. Let's build it together.

Founded in 2025 by accessibility-focused developer Kyle Binger, WCAG Made Simple builds on a decade of full-stack development experience across public and private sectors.
