+The internet has become a part of daily life, but not everyone uses it in the same way. **Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)** are a set of formal standards aimed to address this problem.
+
 Conform to WCAG and make your website accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities or the way they navigate it.

+## The 4 principles (P.O.U.R.)
 
 WCAG consists of 4 high-level principles. Each principle is broken down into a number of sub-criteria.
 
-### 1: Perceivable
+### 1. Perceivable
 
-- Text Alternatives (1.1): Provide text alternatives for non-text content.
-- Time-based Media (1.2): Provide alternatives and captions for multimedia content.
-- Adaptable (1.3): Present content in different ways without losing information or structure.
-- Distinguishable (1.4): Ensure content is readable, with sufficient color contrast and text sizing options.

+### 2. Operable
 
-- Keyboard Accessible (2.1): Ensure all functionality can be operated via a keyboard.
-- Enough Time (2.2): Provide users enough time to read and complete tasks.
-- Seizures and Physical Reactions (2.3): Do not design content that is known to cause seizures or physical discomfort.
-- Navigable (2.4): Create a navigable and intuitive user interface.
-- Input Modalities (2.5): Ensure compatibility with input methods beyond just a keyboard.

 ## Key terms
 
 The following are some key concepts that can help make WCAG easier to understand.
 
-- **WCAG versioning:** The guidelines are updated at irregular intervals so it's important to be clear which version you're referencing.
+* **WCAG versioning** - The guidelines are updated at irregular intervals so it's important to be clear which version you're referencing.
   E.g. [WCAG 2.2.](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/new-in-22)
-- **Conformance level:** The degree to which a website complies with WCAG.
+* **Conformance level** - The degree to which a website complies with WCAG.
   Level A is must-have, AA is should-have (a common target), and AAA represents maximized accessibility.
-- **Success Criteria:** Each WCAG principle contains sub-categories which themselves contain specific success criteria.
+* **Success Criteria** - Each WCAG principle contains sub-categories which themselves contain specific success criteria.
   This means when you reference a success criterion it will have a number like "2.4.1: Bypass Blocks".
-- **WAI-ARIA** (Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications):
+* **WAI-ARIA** (Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications) -
   A specification of semantic requirements for assistive technologies like screen readers.
