So what exactly is “Accessibility” anyway?
Accessibility deals with making sure your website is designed so that all users can have equal access to information and functionality. It aims to address needs for the visually impaired, those with motor difficulty, hearing impairments, seizures and cognitive or intellectual disabilities. People with disabilities can use assistive technologies to help them browse the web, and read your website. These Technologies include Screen readers, Speech Recognition Software, Braille Terminals, and Screen Magnification.
However, accessibility also plays an important role for the ever increasing number of people using their cell phones to go online, or those using small screens or text based browsers. It also considers those with slower internet connections or those who don’t have a keyboard or mouse.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are set by the W3C, an international community that develops standards to ensure the long term growth of the internet.
