Accessibility

A website is accessible when it provides information that can be used by all users, including those who are in situations of physical, technological or environmental limitations.

What does website accessibility means

Creating an accessible site means making its contents available and usable for the widest range of people and tools. This implies adopting a series of measures for people with disabilities (visual, auditory, motor, cognitive...) and people whom should not be penalized in the use of the Internet, when using old technological tools.
The main purpose of accessibility is therefore to develop a more effective, universal and affordable Network, indistinctly. The motto of accessibility is: "The power of the web is its universality" (Tim Berners-Lee).

Allowing maximum accessibility to the information and services offered is one of the fundamental requirements of public bodies. This is why the Italian Government in 2004 issued a law on accessibility, the so-called Law Stanca (Law n. 4 of 9 January 2004): the set of rules and technical requirements to facilitate access to public administrations' websites by disabled users or users with backward technological equipment.
