Accessible Web For People With Disabilities

People With Disabilities

Practical, pragmatic Bobby approved designs help web-empower people with disabilities. Using the right approach to web accessibility will enhance any Internet experience.

On this page, we refer to "disability-related" issues and making web sites - or anything having to do with the Internet - as accessible as possible for disabled people.

For example, for those with a vision disability we make sure that all text is in readable fonts, that there are no color clashes, that ALT tags are properly done, and so on.

This topic is further broken down as follows:

Vision-Related Issues
"Vision-related" refers to any sort of vision disability - poor vision, color-blindness, complete blindness. For people who haave a vision disability we make sure that text is in readable fonts, there are no color clashes, ALT tags are properly done, and so on.

Non-Vision-Related Issues
"Non-vision-related" refers to any disability other than vision. For someone with a mobility problem, we make appropriate easy navigations, and so on.

Special Note. As a courtesy to visitors to this "people with disabilities" page who have questions about Social Security Disability, we present answers to dozens of frequently asked questions as prepared by the US Social Security Administration. We've also put together a page on Disability Grants dedicated to the disabled seeking that little financial boost they need for personal or business use
