Universally Accessible Web Resources: Designing for People with Disabilities

Abstract

Abstract The universal design of Web resources is beneficial for all users, including people with disabilities. The basis of universal design is to provide users with options and control over how they view information on the Web. Universal design easily adapts to user capabilities or the capabilities of the technologies they are using. Users with visual impairments can style the text on the page to be easier to read. Able‐bodied users using Personal Digital Assistants or speech‐based telephone browsers can access content just as easily as someone viewing the information in a graphical rendering since the structure of the information is separated from the style of rendering. Even graphical renderings are enhanced since Web resources adapt to the dimensions and resolutions of the user's display settings. Universally designed resources can be as graphically rich as other Web resources, but use different technologies to create the graphical effects.
