Abstract :
Accessible Web sites are based on sound design principles. The article defines these principles of design and explores how they can be incorporated in Web site design from the start. By defining our own principles of Web site design, we can discover new ways to improve the overall quality of communication of our Web sites, enabling us to reach diverse audiences of all abilities
