Background of Web Accessibility
For all the reasons mentioned above, mentioned above, the accessibility and usability of a web site should be a fundamental underlying concern for any web site open to the public, but especially one providing health information or information about a health resource (such as a clinic).
The World Wide Web Consortium agreed that this concept was so important, that early on they organized a task force to define basic recommendations for accessibility and usability of all web sites. These standards were released in 1999.
