Everything about Web accessibility
Accessibility of World Wide Web
Web accessibility, or eAccessibility, is the inclusive practice of ensuring there are no barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, websites on the World Wide Web by people with disabilities, including both physical and mental disabilities. Through the curb cut effect, it also benefits people with situational disabilities and those with socio-economic restrictions on bandwidth and speed. When sites are correctly designed, developed and edited, more users have equal access to information and functionality. Wikipedia →
