Web Inclusion

Also known as: Digital Inclusion, Web for All

The principle and practice of ensuring that the web is usable by and beneficial to all people, regardless of disability, language, literacy, cultural background, technical proficiency, or socio-economic status. Web inclusion extends beyond traditional web accessibility by addressing barriers that affect people who may not have disabilities but are nonetheless excluded from accessing web content. This includes linguistic barriers for non-English speakers, content complexity barriers for people with limited literacy, and cultural barriers where references or framing assume specific cultural knowledge. Web inclusion emphasizes the social responsibility of making web content universally available and meaningful.
