1 What is Web site Accessibility &
its benefits
What is Web site Accessibility & its benefits"The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of
disability is an essential aspect." Tim Berners-Lee (founder of WWW)
Accessibility is not…– Text-only pages– Separate accessible versions (except in multimedia)– Boring– Difficult
Accessibility is…– Accessibility is about building web pages that can be navigated and read by
everyone, regardless of disability, location, experience or technology.
• Up to 20% of Americans have some kind of disability.
• The major kinds that affect web use include:
Visual – blind, low vision, color-blindHearing – deafness Motor – inability to use a mouse, slow response time, limited fine motor Cognitive – includes learning disabilities, unable to focus
• Accessible design benefits everyone!-Personal preference-Older technology-Slow connection speeds-Newer wireless technology
• Web accessibility is important not only because your content will reach a wider range of audience, but also because correcting web accessibility issues have secondary benefits such as cleaner and more semantic code
• Usability• Although often lumped together, accessibility is not the same as
usability • Accessibility is about ensuring that all users can access all it’s
services & content• Usability is ensuring that the process of accessing services &
content is as intuitive & efficient as possible

• The Firefox Accessibility Extension is a Firefox toolbar that allows you to inspect every aspect of a web page to determine its accessibility. A helpful toolbar feature is the Text Equivalents menu which allows you to generate lists of elements such as images and links to see whether each are standards-compliant
• It allows the user to quickly assess the accessibility of a given Web page, with functions for testing the accessibility of the page's individual elements
• The Toolbar uses the qualifiers Pass,Fail, Warning, and Check to describe the accessibility of each element.
• Install Accessibility Extension from Firefox Add-ons Site• Go to the Firefox Add-ons site for Firefox Accessibility Extension• Click the "Install now" button on the add-ons website• url : http://accessibility.psu.edu/fae
