Accessibility for Everyone or Accessibility 101
summary
States that 20 percent of people worldwide — about 1.4 billion — have impairments and lists five impairment categories, so focus is on concrete fixes not theory. Recommends semantic markup, short alt attributes, and ARIA labels for noncontextual icons. Notes color contrast problems and testing with VoiceOver NVDA or JAWS, and running audits with Axe and Lighthouse or web.dev which catch roughly 20–50 percent of issues.
