"The power of the Web is in its universality" - Tim Berners-Lee

Include. Enable. Innovate.

Web Accessibility is about enabling the many ways that people choose to access and use the Internet, and considers:

• diverse users,
• people with disabilities,
• a wide range of technologies, and
• an array of devices

Learn. Engage. Participate.

The WAI is part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the international standards setting body that develops the open standards on which the foundations of all accessible websites are built.
