Checklist of Checkpoints for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0

W3C has summarized Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 into a Checklist with priorities.

It saves our time in reading all the content of the guideline line by line. Moreover, it has categorized all the points according to their importance. If we got enough time, we can check all of them, otherwise, we can have a clear priority to check those important one first.

There are THREE priorities:
Priority 1: this is a basic requirement for most people to access our site.
E.g. provide text equivalent for non-text elements

Priority 2: this can remove most barriers to access our site.
E.g. ensure foreground and background provide sufficient contrast so that even people with color deficit can view it.

Priority 3: this can further improve the access to our site.
E.g. specify the expansion of the abbreviation when it first appear
