Web accessibility
Web accessibility is about making sure that websites and other online services can be used by everyone. It means that websites should be built so that people with different abilities and different technologies – like using special software – can do the same things, use the same information and use the same services. It's important because everyone should be given the same opportunities on the internet. It can also help to make it easier for people to use websites, even if they have a disability or are using different technology.
