Definition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

(see mosaico<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessibility, in its broadest sense, is the quality that something can be used by everyone, including people with disabilities. As far as the internet is concerned, its definition does not change much. Web accessibility is the practice of making websites usable by as many people as possible. That is, through design, development and content, we seek to offer everyone an excellent experience, regardless of their resources or how the devices are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Tim Berners-Lee, director of World Wide Web Consortium<\/a> (W3C) and inventor of WWW, the power of the Web lies in its universality: Access for all regardless of disability is an essential aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About one in seven people have a disability that affects the way they interact with the world and their devices. People can experience disabilities at any age, for any duration and at different levels of severity. For example, occasional damage \u2013 such as injury to the wrist from falling or loss of voice from overuse \u2013 can affect how devices interact at different times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the European Union, the standard containing the accessibility requirements applicable to the web and mobile applications is the standard EN301549<\/a>, copy of the compliance standard WCAG 2.1<\/a> \u2018AA\u2019. In Greece, these requirements are included in the Digital Accessibility Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
