Web Accessibility
Accessible websites not only benefit individuals with disabilities but also enhance the browsing experience for all users. They improve performance across various devices, environments, and browser versions, and help search engines better interpret site content—resulting in improved SEO rankings and greater visibility. These advantages make accessible websites easier to find and more user-friendly.
In short, accessible websites offer superior usability and searchability, reduce barriers and frustration in online interactions, and expand the reach and exposure of web content to a broader audience.
