Introdução à Acessibilidade na Web: do Conceito à Prática

Abstract

The constant presence of Internet use in our lives, when related to the high number of people with disabilities in society, makes accessibility an indispensable feature for contemporary digital systems. In addition to the social motivator that drives developers to make applications accessible, other factors can also be mentioned: financial - users with disabilities represent a consumer group that can generate profit through accessible digital systems that allow the consumption of products and services by all; pre-established requirements - there are cases where the implementation of a minimum level of accessibility is a mandatory requirement, such as in government applications. This chapter presents the current scenario of web accessibility and provides a series of resources to help create accessible web pages, improving the current scenario.
