What accessibility means
Web accessibility is ultimately about people. Technically, it’s designing and building websites so people with disabilities can use them. What we’re really talking about is removing barriers that might stop any person from using your website.
Why accessibility matters
If your company values talk about things like “fairness”, “inclusivity” and “respect” then your website should be actively supporting those values.
An estimated 1.3 billion people experience significant disability. This represents 16% of the world’s population, or 1 in 6 of us.” (The World Health Organisation, 7 March 2023)
Here in the UK, 11% of children, 23% of all working-age adults are disabled and 45% of pension-age adults. (House of Commons Library, 23 August 2023)
That’s a lot of people.
