Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group News

The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group (BPWG) and the WAI Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) published the W3C Working Group Note: Relationship between Mobile Web Best Practices (MWBP) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). People with disabilities using computers have similar interaction limitations as people without disabilities who are using mobile devices. This note describes the similarities and differences between the requirements Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 (MWBP). Following these two guidelines makes your Web content more accessible to everyone regardless of situation, environment, or device. Designing the guidelines together, instead of separately, can make the process more efficient. This note includes the following pages:

• From MWBP to WCAG 1.0 and From MWBP to WCAG 2.0 are designed for those who already know MWBP and want to learn how they relate to WCAG.
• From WCAG 1.0 to MWBP and From WCAG 2.0 to MWBP are designed for those who already know WCAG and want to learn how it relates to MWBP.
