Web-Design
"Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the web. More specifically, web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web, and that they can contribute to the web." - Shawn Lawton Henry "Understanding Web Accessibility", Chapter 1 of the book "Web Accessibility", Lulu.com 2007
Many web designers do not think about whether their websites are accessible. Thus they unconsciously promote the exclusion of blind and visually impaired people.
Since 1 January 2006 all websites which are financed through public funds must be accessible.
Accessible web design is worthwhile for web designers and users. Accessible websites are standard compliant and cleanly coded.

This has several advantages for the owner of the website:
