Abstract

Accessibility is a difficult subject to approach and it’s often tough to know where to start. This is why I have decided to write this book. My aim is to help you understand accessibility and build it into your sites, so that together, we can make the Internet the inclusive, empowering place it has the potential to be. To begin with, we’ll take a moment to explore the merits of a “disability-driven” approach, and then we’ll turn to look at why the timing has never been more important.
