Web Accessibility

A11ypractice

Also known as: Digital accessibility; website accessibility; accessible web design

Web accessibility means designing and developing websites and web tools so people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, interact with, and contribute to them.

Technical explanation

Implementation combines semantic structure, keyboard operation, adaptable presentation, sufficient contrast, text alternatives, captions, understandable interactions, robust compatibility with assistive technologies, and testing against standards such as WCAG 2.2.

Business relevance

Accessible services reach more people, reduce exclusion and legal risk, improve resilience across devices and contexts, and often produce clearer, more maintainable experiences for everyone.

Implementation example

A team uses semantic HTML, labelled controls, visible focus, keyboard testing, captions, error guidance, and assistive-technology checks, then audits the service against WCAG 2.2 AA before release.

Limitations and common misconceptions

Automated tools detect only some barriers and conformance does not guarantee a usable experience for every person. Accessibility requires ongoing content, design, engineering, and user-testing practices.
