Accessibility
Accessibility means that as many different people as possible can use online services as smoothly as possible. Accessibility is consideration for the diversity of people in the design and implementation of online services. Accessibility is essential for some and beneficial to all of us. Taking accessibility into account is usually also good design.
Accessibility is linked to the European Union’s Accessibility Directive, which in turn refers to the criteria of the international WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) guidelines.
