What is Web Accessibility? |
|
|
 |
Some might say that the World Wide Web is the best thing that ever happened to people who are blind or visually impaired. We read newspapers on the day they're published, order groceries and know the prices before we check out, and find out what titles are on a CD before we make our selection. |
|
| But not every web page is optimally designed for use by web surfers with visual impairments. When a page is built without regard to proper eb design, the technology that keeps users in the Web falls apart. |

Everyone Benefits From Accessible Web Sites |
|
|
| The same good techniques that make web pages accessible to those of us who use assistive technology benefit users of other devices as well. For example, people with... |
|
 |
Elderly age group people |
|
Slow Internet connections |
|
Devices that do not show color |
|
Devices such as cell phones that have tiny screens |
|
|
| all make use of design features such as alt-text and keyboard access. While a highly motivated and patient person browsing the web with a tiny handheld monitor might find it possible to navigate your site, unlabeled graphics and vast navigation bars filled with indecipherable graphics might well render your site unusable. |
