Accessibility is a Waste of Time

He thought, “no blind person will ever use this content” and it made him really angry that I would require him to add alt.

Kaleidoscope of Wonderful

Accessibility Internet Rally – Let the Race Begin!

Imagine a web where everyone has access… regardless of their physical or mental ability. This is the vision behind the Accessibility Internet Rally (AIR) a friendly and fun competition that pairs web developers with local non-profits to create accessible websites. Even before the AIR awards ceremony, web developers win by receiving valuable technical accessibility training; Non-Profits win by getting a new and accessible web presence and we all win by moving forward on the path of web access for all.
