What web accessibility is

Web accessibility ensures that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with websites effectively. Accessible websites also benefit older people, individuals using mobile devices, and people with temporary injuries or limitations. The Mary-Lou Buck Foundation recognises that accessibility supports equality, inclusion, and cultural respect.
