Abstract:

8% of the U.S. population has visual, learning, cognitive, auditory or physical dexterity disabilities severe enough to affect their ability to access the Web. These people use the web for the same reasons as everyone else - email, news, sports results, research, work. Recently introduced legislation and some high-profile legal cases are increasing the profile of website accessibility. E-commerce organisations and government bodies can no longer afford to be complacent about the issues surrounding accessibility.
