According to AudioEye, Inc., website accessibility is the practice of making sure that websites and web-related tools and technologies are usable by everyone, regardless of ability.

MOZ contributor Alisa Smith has published an article highlighting seven common misconceptions about web accessibility.

She says, “Only a small percentage of the global population has a disability.

This is the biggest myth out there, and it most likely stems from the invisibility of many disabilities. Disabilities may present no obvious physical signs to the untrained eye, and of course many disabilities make it difficult for people to take part in the same activities as people without disabilities. The net result? Many people are simply unaware that a large number of their fellow citizens are living with a disability.

The numbers may surprise you:vv In the US, the proportion is larger still: the CDC estimates that 26% of US adults are living with a disability”.
