What is Accessibility

Web Accessibility ensures that everyone can access the content and functionalities of the website regardless of any physical barriers.

So, what does all this mean? If your website is not accessible, it means that you have excluded 20% of the world population from the conversation on your website. According to a survey, 71% of users with disabilities are leaving a website that is not accessible. Hence, it is significant that the website is accessible to everyone to offer equal access to people with disabilities.
