What is an accessible web site?
Everyone can use an accessible website, all the time.
It is designed to be used by people with all forms of disabilities.
All websites are accessible conceptually. It’s only when they are designed that the barriers appear.
When websites are designed with accessibility in mind, people with permanent or temporary disabilities can use them with ease. An accessible website has no barriers that make it difficult or impossible for some people to use.
An accessible website is one that works for everyone, all the time.
