What is web accessibility?

At its most basic definition, web accessibility is about making sure all users, regardless of their ability, can access, navigate, and use your website effectively. According to the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), web accessibility “means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web.” As Tim Berners-Lee, the W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web puts it, “The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.”
