Web accessibility means that websites, tools, and technologies are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them. More specifically, people can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web.

Accessibility encompasses all disabilities that affect access to the Web, including auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, speech, and visual disabilities.

Accessibility is important for several reasons:

• It ensures equal access to information and functionality for all users.
• It is required by law in many jurisdictions.
• It improves the overall user experience for everyone.
• It can improve search engine optimization (SEO).

Here are some key steps to improve the accessibility of your website:

• Use semantic HTML elements appropriately.
• Provide alternative text for images.
• Ensure sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds.
• Make all interactive elements keyboard accessible.
• Use ARIA attributes when necessary to convey roles and states.
• Test with screen readers and other assistive technologies.

Following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is a great starting point for making your content accessible.
