Web Accessibility

There are several reasons why Web accessibility is important:

• use of the Web is spreading rapidly into all areas of society;
• there are barriers on the Web for many types of disabilities;
• millions of people have disabilities that affect access to the Web;
• some Web sites are required to be accessible;
• Web accessibility also has carry-over benefits for other users.
