- An effort to improve the accessibility of the World Wide Web (WWW) for people with disabilities. People with disabilities may encounter difficulties when using computers generally, but also on the Web. Since people with disabilities often require non-standard devices and browsers, making websites more accessible also benefits a wide range of user agents and devices, including mobile devices, which have limited resources. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) launched the Web Accessibility Initiative in 1997 with endorsement by W3C members as well as The White House. It has several working groups and interest groups that work on guidelines, technical reports, educational materials, and other documents that relate to the several different components of web accessibility. ← Wikipedia ↑ w3.org/WAI
