Website Accessibility and Accessibility Tools

Website Accessibility

Ensuring your website is accessible to people with disabilities has become an important ethical foundation of online business. In fact, it isn't just the right thing to do; it is currently law for all federal agencies and will be law for all online businesses in the near future.

There is a large potential market as nearly 65% of the U.S. population has a disability. Without accessibility features build into your website you are missing important sales.

Accessible features can drastically improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. For instance, accessible websites can enable the blind to read the news or make online purchases. Since there are so few accessible websites on the Internet today, making your website accessible will create many opportunities to grow your business through repeat customers and referrals.

For more information on accessibility please read:

World Wide Web Consortium - Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0
Wikipedia-Web Accessibility
Section 508 Federal Rehabilitation Act
Web-based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications

Accessibility Tools

There are many coding tools and techniques used to build accessible websites. These are built into the hidden code of a website to assist people using adaptive, or assistive, technology. There are also some evident tools available on most accessible websites including:

Text resizing features to enlarge text or reduce text size for easier reading.

This print page feature enables you to print a text only version of the page to save ink and extra paper.

The text only feature offers a high contrast, graphic free version of the website using black text on a white background for the easiest reading.
