Accessibility for websites

08 Jun 2005

This section provides links to information, standards and guidelines which will ensure the accessibility of your website.

"The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect." This quote by Tim Berners-Lee lies at the heart of the philosophy and work of the internationally recognised W3C consortium.

Accessibility is really an extension of usability - making things accessible and easy to use for everyone.
