Why web accesibility is important?
Just a quick teaser in the spirit of a report on web accessibility I’m doing. You’ll get the chance to read the full version soon.
What is web accesibility?
It’s making websites accessible for everyone, including the blind, the deaf, people with learning trouble etc.
Why should you care?
According to this website a research has been made back in 1999 in the good ol’ US of A. Looking at the numbers and throwing some basic math at them, this is what you get:
In 1999, about every 10th web-surfer in USA was having to face difficulties when reading websites. Every 10th! Say your website has a 1000 unique visits a day, that’s 100 people not being able to comprehend the content as you predicted.
