Intro

This section is for all things related to web accessibility, how different problems manifest and what can we do to make our products accessible for everyone.

The content is put together from various sources, so feel free to add something in order to improve it.

“The one argument for accessibility that doesn’t get made nearly often enough is how extraordinarily better it makes some people’s lives. How many opportunities do we have to dramatically improve people’s lives just by doing our job a little better?” – Steve Krug, Information Architect and Author of “Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability”

There are many reasons why people may be experiencing varying degrees of auditory, cognitive, physical, speech, and visual disabilities. For instance, some may have disabilities from birth, an illness, disease, or accident, or they may develop impairments with age. Some may not consider themselves to have disabilities even if they do experience such functional limitations.
