On Blindness EASI-WEB is an online workshop on universal design principles for web pages. Millions of new users connect to the internet every day, and more and more they are not the typical, young techy type.
Seniors are the fastest segment of internet users.
You may need to broaden your image of those coming to your page. There are over 50 million Americans with disabilities and they are also avid internet users. When a computer with synthesizer can read the page to someone who is blind, low vision, learning disabled or getting blurry vision from age, it provides access to print materials for them like never before. When you can't hold a book or newspaper, but you can read it on a monitor connected to the web, you have entered a new world. However, you can design web pages that make life harder for these users and deny them access to the information they so badly need.
