<p><span lang="en">In the beginning of 2009 year, the W3C announced new standards to help the developers to create more accessible sites, ie, cover more adequately to disabled and old users. This is the second WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) version, this new standard produced by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of W3C will attend a huge range of content (such text, images, audio and video) and web applications, allowing better conformance tests  and still will prove more flexibility and a larger innovation potential to the web developers. The WCAG 2.0 is easier to understand and to use. Just see the technical and educational material available.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">The WCAG 2.0 target the web access difficulties experienced by people with limited vision, hearing, physical, cognitive, neurological and by old users with needs to access the web. Following four principles:</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">Perceivable &#8211; Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive. (For example, provide alternative texts to images, caption mode for audio, display content adaptable to different ways to be shown and use color contrast).</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">Operable &#8211; User interface components and navigation must be operable. (Provide access to features via keyboard, offer enough time to read and insert data, avoid images that can cause convulsions and improve navigability.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">Understandable &#8211; Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable. (Provide legible and predictable content to help users to avoid and correct errors)</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">Robust &#8211; Maximize compatibility with current and future user agents, including assistive technologies.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">To who already wants to begin to study the new guidelines, <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/">visit the reference guide</a>.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">To motivate you, see the video with the WCAG 2 theme:</span></p>
