Abstract

Today's world is increasingly based on digital access to information. People conduct essential aspects of life online through their web browsers and mobile applications: education, healthcare, banking, shopping, entertainment, and even jobs are conducted through the internet. To be cut off from the digital world is to miss these essential connections; this is exactly what happens to people with disabilities when the websites and content they try to use have accessibility barriers. People and organizations creating web content need to understand the elements of accessibility, important laws and regulations that guide accessibility efforts, and ways to improve the accessibility of web content. Eliminating these barriers is an important step towards a more inclusive society.
