Accessibility

Why It's Important

• The internet is an unwelcoming place to the disabled

Key points from the Reddit thread:

• "no business is going to spend the money to support a tiny fraction of the population without regulation"
• "Almost any aspect of accessible design can be useful to a whole variety of people who wouldn't consider themselves to be disabled"
• "designers need to make themselves aware of WCAG, and be told to design to it"
