Accessibility
People can find, understand, and use your website, app, or documents, whatever their abilities and whatever they use to browse.
Accessibility is the practice of building websites, apps, and documents so that people with disabilities can use them. The W3C’s introduction says web accessibility means websites, tools, and technologies are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them.
In practice it covers people who are blind or have low vision, people who are Deaf or hard of hearing, people who cannot use a mouse, and people with cognitive, learning, or speech disabilities. The same work helps people without disabilities in a temporary or situational spot, such as bright sunlight or a noisy room. Most laws measure accessibility against WCAG, the international standard.
