What is web accessibility?
The Internet’s capacity to facilitate communication should be available to everyone. Web accessibility means:
- removing obstacles that might prevent people with disability from accessing information online
- enabling web sites to function with assistive and innovative technologies
- ensuring that web sites can be accessed on lower speed Internet connections or with older technologies.
