• "Accessibility is most often used to describe facilities or amenities to
assist people with disabilities, as in 'wheelchair accessible'. This can
extend to Braille signage, wheelchair ramps, audio signals at
pedestrian crossings, walkway contours, website design, and so
on." [1]
• "The Web is fundamentally designed to work for all people,
whatever their hardware, software, language, culture, location, or
physical or mental ability. When the Web meets this goal, it is
accessible to people with a diverse range of hearing, movement,
sight, and cognitive ability." [2]
