There are also the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) created by W3C, which many used in addition to, or instead of, Section 508 guidelines. WCAG 2.0 offers guidelines for achieving different levels of accessibility — your website can be at Level A (most basic accessibility), Level AA, or Level AAA (highest level of accessibility).
