What is accessibility?
Accessibility is the term used to describe whether a website can be used by people of all
abilities / disabilities on a range of differing digital devices.
The way a person perceives information is affected by their ability / disability along
with how they navigate between website pages. A website can only be classed as
accessible if all people, including the elderly and disabled, can use it.
Browsers include many features which make the browser itself and web content accessible
to all users, including those who have low vision, no vision, or limited ability to use
a keyboard or mouse. Modern browsers support screen readers and magnifiers and offer
people with low vision full-page zoom, high-contrast colour and other extensions.
