What Is Web Accessibility?

Web accessibility means designing websites so everyone can use them, including people with disabilities. This covers visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive impairments. When a site is accessible, someone using a screen reader can navigate it just as effectively as someone using a mouse. Accessibility isn't an add-on or a feature request. It's a fundamental part of how the web was designed to work. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define the technical standards, but the principle is simple: if someone can't use your site, it's broken for them.
