Web accessibility benefits all users, not only users with disabilities, but also other users in terms of ease of use, navigation and browser and system compatibility.

Web accessibility standards:

- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines from World Wide Web Consortium: http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/

- Section 508 standards: http://www.section508.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=Content&ID=11
