Accessibility

Also known as: A11y

The design of products, devices, services, environments, and systems so that they can be used by people with the widest range of abilities, including those with disabilities. In digital contexts, accessibility means ensuring websites, applications, and content are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users, as defined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Accessibility is both a design practice and a civil right.
