Why is accessibility important?

The accessibility of our website is the product of a number of techniques relating to planning, engineering and maintenance which seek to make the content as easy to access as possible by potentially everyone, while eliminating obstacles which interfere with its usability due to both objective and subjective conditions.

There can be vast differences, for example, in the software and browsers used, in screen resolution, connection speed, as well as in the user’s eyesight, motor and  perceptual skills, including in function of the level of fatigue or background noise.
