What is Accessibility?

តើ Accessibility ហ្នឹងជាអីគេទៅ?

AltAccessAlt Access Campaign

As a developer, you spend hours building websites and apps to attract as many users as possible. But what if your platform is unintentionally excluding 1.3 billion people? According to the World Health Organization, 16% of the global population lives with some form of disability. That is why developing with digital accessibility in mind is crucial.

Bringing Accessibility to the Digital World

In the physical world, accessibility looks like wheelchair ramps or Braille signs. In the IT world, we call this Web Accessibility—creating digital platforms that everyone can use easily. If you are a developer looking to start, here are a few simple steps to implement today:

  • Add Alt Text to Images: Always use alt="..." in your HTML to describe images. Without it, Screen Readers cannot tell blind users what the image shows.
  • Check Color Contrast: Ensure your text and background colors have high contrast. Light gray text on a white background is a massive barrier for users with Low Vision.
