WAI (W3C,1997) is a set of guidelines intended for web developers and designers, about how to make the web accessible to people with disabilities.
The goal of these guidelines is accessibility, but they will also help make web contents available to more browsers (voice browsers, cell phones, hand-held devices) and to more users working in difficult environments (hands-free, strong light, darkness, bad sight, heavy noise).If your website lacks WAI features (good contrast, resizeable text, images with descriptions), people with disabilities will not be able to access your information.
