Accessibility

Access to the Internet takes many different forms including screen readers, Braille displays, voice recognition software and magnification software. These technologies require pages to be created in accessible HTML. In addition, people with learning and cognitive disabilities have problems with inconsistent navigation mechanisms and flickering, moving or complicated designs.

Web pages that are accessible to users with disabilities will also be accessible to users using older (eg slow modem connections, older computers, text-only web browsers) or emerging (eg PDA's; Auto Audio browsers; cell phones) technologies.
