"The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect."
Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web
"The days of designing for only one or two web browsers are long gone; today's Web surfers use anything from non-visual screen readers to the latest version of Netscape Navigator, and the future will bring even more Internet-enabled 'Net appliances -- televisions, phones, watches, toasters, cars, and more. Designing for universal accessibility is vitally important to ensure that the sites you create today will continue to work tomorrow and beyond, into the 21st century."
Kynn Bartlett - HTML Writers Guild
