In honor of October being Disability Awareness Month, I'm dedicating a post to something I spend a large part of my day on: making webpages accessible.
What is web accessibility? you may wonder. Accessibility refers to the experience of users who might access or interact with webpages differently than expected. Specifically, it concerns users with some sort of impairment or disability, including those that are non-physical (i.e., attention deficit disorder) or temporary (i.e., a broken wrist).

| Impairments fall into four broad categories: visual, motor, hearing, and cognitive. |
Accessibility is essential for web developers and businesses that want to create high-quality webpages and not exclude people from using their products and services.
