What are accessibility considerations?

Accessibility: addresses discriminatory aspects related to equivalent user experience for people with disabilities. Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can equally perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with websites and tools. It also means that they can contribute equally without barriers.

What is an example of accessibility?

Something can be accessible to some people while being inaccessible to others. As an example, a video on a website may be accessible to people that are blind if the video player can be controlled using a keyboard, if the controls are labelled correctly, and all the content in the video is available as audio.

What are the three types of accessibility?

Types of Accessibility Issues

Visual (e.g., color blindness) Motor/mobility (e.g., wheelchair-user concerns) Auditory (hearing difficulties)

Why should we consider accessibility?

Everyone benefits from accessibility. Accessible design improves access to information on the web for individuals with and without disabilities. Well-designed, accessible web sites expedite the delivery of information and services.
