Accessibility
Your web content will certainly be viewed by a variety of browsers and devices. In addition to the graphical browsers we’re most familiar with today, it may be displayed by alternative devices such as mobile phones, handheld computers, or assistive devices such as screen readers for the visually impaired. By creating well-structured and logically marked up documents according to the guidelines for accessibility, you provide a better experience for the greatest number of users. See Chapter 2 for a look at issues related to competing browsers. Chapter 5 discusses ways in which the current web standards are being developed with accessibility in mind.
