Description
The Challenge of Accessibility When Tim Berners-Lee created the Web, he had some very specific goals in mind.
Certainly, creating a technology that allowed the sharing of information was a main part of that goal, but an interesting piece of Berners-Lee's vision has always had to do with the human side of the Web.
After all, it's not machines that use the Web, but people.
Accessibility has become a hot topic in web design, despite the fact that it has always been a part of the original vision.
In a broad sense, accessibility simply means ensuring that a given page on the Web is able to be accessed.
Accessibility is not about disability; rather, it's about people getting to the shared information that the vision of the Web has made manifest.
There has also been a lot said about how accessibility relates to web standards and vice versa.
Realistically, accessibility relies on aspects of related web standards, but has in fact become a science, art, and practice of its own.
It's a deep specialty, and one that is highly problematic, as what might make a page accessible to one person could conceivably render it inaccessible to another.
