It really should be, people with disabilities can really have trouble navigating websites, the least we can do is make it a relative smooth experience.

- johnnylambada 7y agoI don't doubt that. I even said as much. But one has to understand how to build a web site before they can understand how to build a website for a specific class of individual.
- urxvtcd 7y agoThe thing is, it's not a specific class of individuals, these are just people. They deserve access to online content just as everybody else.
- mattlondon 7y agoIdeally you should design in and implement accessibility from the start. Doing the site first then accessibility second usually either means accessibility simply doesn't get done at all (since people forget and/or priorities change before it is done), or it is retrofitted in a really half-assed way. This is really important stuff (both legally these days in many countries, but also ethically) so giving it second-billing is probably a mistake.
- erikschoster 7y agoFor sure. Accessibility should also encompass things like making content or functionality usable on terrible networks and ancient devices.
