    Frequently Asked Questions about Web Accessibility

    Web accessibility means that everyone is able to use, understand, and navigate the internet. This is important for different technologies, tools, and websites that should be designed in a way where everyone can use them. It involves a lot of testing in order to make sure every aspect of the entity is accessible to people with different types of disabilities. It involves the understanding of different disabilities and the technologies that assist them.‎

    It's important to learn web accessibility in order to provide equal opportunities for people with disabilities. As part of that, you also learn about the major types of disabilities in order to have a well functioning design. This is important to learn because you need to be able to create universal designs that can accommodate different kinds of people. Disabilities can include visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive, meaning that one assistive technology won't necessarily work for all.
