Usability and accessibility of the web is increasingly necessary to reach your audience and for your audience to reach you.
One in five people in the United States has some kind of disability and an estimated 30 million people are impacted by inaccessible computer and software design. The number of people with disabilities is only increasing, as it has increased 25% in the last decade, especially among those 50 years old and above. And among the 31 million seniors aged 65 and above, 16 million reported some level of disability Census Brief 97-5.
A usable web isn't just for people with disabilities. It also benefits people with a slow internet connection, older computers, non-computer browsers—web phone, WebTV©, etc.—and people with temporary impairment like a broken arm or a broken mouse! It also prepares your site for emerging technologies such as: blogs, vlogs, wiki, VOIP, RSS, VRML, WAP, and the list goes on.
