The Importance of Accessible Websites
Accessible websites are more than a convenience; they’re a necessity. They foster independence by allowing individuals to navigate and utilize digital resources without barriers. From accessing critical services to participating in civic life, digital accessibility ensures that everyone can engage fully and equitably in the online world.
This achievement is a testament to the collaborative efforts of state leaders, web developers, and advocates who share a vision of inclusivity. It demonstrates how thoughtful design and policy can work hand in hand to build a more accessible future.
