Is Web Accessibility Really Necessary?

by David Zemens

web_access.gifI have been determined to learn to design accessible websites so that all users, regardless of their disability or hardware, can have access to the sites that I build.

My design skills and my accessiblity skills have increased dramatically in the past year, I am proud to say, and I can now pump out a pretty accessible website.

There are many resources that I have utilized to broaden my knowledge about accessible web design. However, nobody has been a greater help to me than Mike Cherim at accessites.org. Mike has gone out of his way to spend quite a bit of his valuable time helping me become more sensitive to accessibility, and I thank him for it.

Mike has posted a great article entitled “Why Bother with Web Accessiblity“. It’s a terrific overview explaining why any and all web developers need to build accessible websites. Thanks again, Mike, for more helpful hints and great observations.

Thanks David. It was my pleasure. You’re a talented designer so it was time well spent. Sorry I didn’t notice this sooner. Your RSS feed hasn’t been loading in my Firefox browser bookmarks which is how I keep track of who’s posting what.
