web accessibility
Digital disability accommodation
Web accessibility is the practice of designing websites and digital content so people with disabilities can use them.
This includes accommodations for visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments—screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, captions, sufficient color contrast.
The new site was built with web accessibility in mind.
Often shortened to a11y (eleven letters between a and y).
