What web accessibility is
Web accessibility refers to the practice of making websites and digital content usable by all people, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. This includes ensuring that individuals with visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor impairments can access, navigate, and interact with a website effectively.
Key aspects of web accessibility include:
1. Perceivable Content: Ensuring that all users can perceive the information presented on the website. This might involve providing text alternatives for images (e.g., alt text), captions for videos, and ensuring content is distinguishable (e.g., using sufficient contrast).
2. Operable Navigation: Designing the website so that all users can navigate and interact with it, regardless of how they use their devices. This includes ensuring that all functionality is accessible via a keyboard and that the interface doesn’t require timed responses that may be difficult for some users.
3. Understandable Information: Presenting content in a way that is easy to read and understand. This involves using clear and simple language, predictable navigation, and helping users avoid and correct mistakes (e.g., in forms).
4. Robust Content: Ensuring that the content can be reliably interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies like screen readers.
