Accessibility means that users of any kind, using any device, should have access to the essential information that is contained on your web site. The information is the key. All too often, web designers focus on how a web site looks from one browser to another. They get caught up in developing a pixel-perfect design for Internet Explorer and Netscape, running on a desktop machine. As the Internet grows, and more devices become web-enabled, designers must take into account what happens when a user tries to access a site with an alternate device.
