A11y - ACCESSIBILITY
Why do we write "a11y"?
Because between the letters "a" and "y" there are 11 other letters :)
Surely you've experienced the annoyance of a slow page loading, unreadable font, bad and strange navigation, blurry and overlapping colors, a page that looks bad and doesn't work on a mobile device.
These problems may be a minor inconvenience for us, but for people with disabilities, they may UNTILALLY limit the use of the Internet.
Accessibility means that websites and web applications should use tools and technologies that facilitate the understanding, navigation and interaction of a disabled person through the website or application.
Such a procedure may seem difficult and unnecessary at first, but nearly 15% of people around the world have some kind of disability (about 1 billion people).
Taking care of the accessibility of your website or application takes on a different meaning!
The problem is so big that even 98% of the best sites in the world do not offer full accessibility!
⛔️NOTE⛔️ As WHO research shows, disability rates will increase with the aging of the population and the increase in chronic diseases!
The main assumption of A11 is that people with disabilities should have the same access to information as people without.
Level A If the page is not adapted to this level, it will be unavailable.
Level AA Increased level of accessibility for users, removes the greatest barriers and difficulties in accessibility for the user.
Leve AAA Highest level of availability desired, but not quite necessary.
