## Web Accessibility
The Web Content Accessibility is a set of recommendations developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. These are essential for web developers, designers, and content creators to ensure that their websites are usable by everyone, including those with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.

### The Web Accessibility guidelines
<br>

# Percivable
<br>
Firstly, information and user interface components must be presented in ways that users can perceive.
This includes providing text alternatives for non-text content, creating content that can be presented in different ways without losing information, and making it easier for users to see and hear content. 
<br>

# Operable
<br>
User interface components and navigation must be operable. This means that all functionality should be available from a keyboard, users should have enough time to read and use the content, and content should not cause seizures or physical reactions.
<br>

# Understandable
<br>
Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable. This involves making text readable and understandable, making web pages appear and operate in predictable ways, and helping users avoid and correct mistakes.
<br>

# Robust
<br>
Content must be robust enough to be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies. This ensures that content remains accessible as technologies evolve.
