Barriers to WebsitesBarriers to Websites
One of the groups most dependent on standard-based web design is people with disabilities. Consider the following examples:
If a web page includes visual content (graphic images), a person who is blind can't see them. These individuals might access the computer's output using synthesized text-to-speech technology known as a "screen reader", or they might use a small Braille output device. Graphics must be accompanied (in the code behind-the-scenes) with alternate text that describes the content of the graphics for anyone who is unable to see visual content.

If a web page includes audio content, a person who is deaf or hard of hearing won't be able to hear it. This content must also be provided as text, such as in a transcript. If the site includes a multimedia file, that file should be closed captioned so that a visible text track, synchronized with the video, can be turned on by the user.
If a web page has buttons, controls, menus, form fields, etc., that require a user to click on them with a mouse, users with physical disabilities who are unable to operate a mouse will be unable to access these controls. All controls should be operable with a keyboard as well.
