info about accessibility

' Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web'.

It is essential that the web be accessible, in order to provide equal access and equal opportunity to people with disabilities (including older people with changing abilities due to aging or color blinded people which may have problems reading a web pages content) which can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with web sites, and they can contribute to develop it. An accessible Web can also help people with disabilities more actively participate in society.

The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops strategies, guidelines, and resources to help make the Web accessible to people with disabilities.
