What is Website Accessibility anyway?
- Website Accessibility primarily means that pages and features on a website are accessible to all visitors with a disability. People with a disability might use speech readers, keyboard only (no mouse) navigation (Try using the tab key to see what this is like!), have difficulties with large blocks of text, need high contrast or large text. Some needs of people with disabilities are contradictory and just like the internet, new aids, software and technologies are always appearing.
- Beyond people with disabilities, accessible websites also means multi-platform websites (different internet browsers) and multi-device (PC’s, Apple Macs, Mobile phones) and easy to navigate and customise to your own settings.
