Web accessibility ensures that everyone, including people with disabilities, have the same level of interaction with online content.
To understand why web accessibility matters, keep three core ideas in mind:
- It removes barriers for users with visual, auditory, motor or cognitive impairments
- It improves overall usability and readability of websites, which benefits every visitor - not just those who are disabled
- It often boosts search-engine performance, by encouraging clean code and clear structure
By focusing on web accessibility, you make your website fairer, more user-friendly and legally safer.
