Understanding Accessibility

Web accessibility refers to the practice of designing and developing websites in a way that allows individuals with disabilities to perceive, interact with, and understand the content easily. Disabilities can encompass a wide range of conditions, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments. An accessible website aims to eliminate barriers and create an inclusive environment that caters to users of all abilities.

The primary motivation behind building accessible websites lies in creating a more inclusive digital space. By making websites accessible, we enable individuals with disabilities to participate fully in the online world, providing them with the same opportunities as their non-disabled peers. It fosters a sense of belonging and empowerment, as people with disabilities can independently access information, products, and services, without relying on external assistance.
