Web accessibility is the practice of designing and developing websites so that all people, including those with disabilities, can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web. The goal is to ensure that everyone—regardless of their abilities—has equal access to information and functionality. This is not just about accommodating a small group; it benefits a wide range of users, including those with temporary impairments, older adults, and people using different devices or assistive technologies. Making web content accessible is essential for building inclusive digital experiences and upholding principles of equality and usability.

Accessible websites remove barriers that might otherwise prevent people from using them. This involves considering things like keyboard navigation for those who cannot use a mouse, providing alternative text for images so that screen readers can describe them, and ensuring that content is structured in a logical way. By keeping these goals in mind, you help create web experiences that are usable by as many people as possible.
