Accessibility

What is accessibility?

Web accessibility refers to the access capability of all people to the Internet and its content, independently of their personal situation or user disabilities.
By personal situation we understand devices, navigators, Internet connection speed, peripherals, navigator or computer configuration, environmental conditions, etc.
By disability we are referring to visual, auditory, mental and motor deficiencies.

Images
