The growing importance of web accessibility

The Internet has become an indispensable part of our lives, but not everyone can use websites in the same way. For people with visual or hearing impairments, people with limited mobility, or people experiencing declines in physical function due to aging, many websites are difficult or impossible to use.
Interest in web accessibility has been growing worldwide in recent years, and legal and technical responses are also evolving. In Japan, the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities, which was revised in 2021, has strengthened the obligation for companies and local governments to comply with web accessibility standards, making web accessibility compliance increasingly important in web production and development.
