What is web accessibility?

Web accessibility refers to the possibility of any person to successfully navigate a web page is the same as making a public office and has access for people in wheelchairs, imagine a public office without elevators or ramps, etc. Internet is the same, it is necessary that the web is accessible to all citizens to use services.

In Colombia we are far behind in this issue of accessibility for various reasons, poorly trained designers, companies and organizations who do not know the subject, lack of government control, lack of campaigns etc. The majority of companies and designers believe that making a nice web around the world will see the same, the problem is that not everyone can see, what happens to people who use a program such as jaws or screen reader to navigate the web?.

How should an accessible website?

The web accessible must comply successfully with several factors, including this:

• Do not use flash, and if necessary use, you must label it and know design.
• If you have images should be labeled correctly so that the reader can read the image.
• If you have tables, you must tag them as much as possible and just use css design div.
• The structure should be clear, the menu must be logical and navigable, ie can not use flash in the menu, or images etc, should not be the end of the web, or if it is inevitable that the design is not a structure logic, you should position for the reader to read and jaws designed differently using css and div.
• Must validate w3
• You should validate with w3 accessibility programs

These points are the most important but there are more like the use of code, frames, etc. of silvering.
