Accessibility means availability. If I can't get to a website or its content it is not only unavailable to me there is no experience for the user there is no content there is no interaction there is no meaning there is an inability to search. Accessibility first f2w!

Exactly. Availability means inclusivity for everyone. Like I have been saying for a couple years or so, accessibility is a right, not a privilege. It's everyone's right to have accessible websites and content available to them when they need.

If something has to be a right or a privilege that means that it either has to be legally enforced or economically driven in some way. I don't buy it no pun intended okay yes pun intended LOL I would drop the word for web all together and use quality assurance

My thought behind my little "tagline" was everyone has a right to equal access, that not a select few "it works on my computer!" for instance, and therefore isn't a privilege but I see your point. I like the pun though! I'm always up for a good pun! 😂

It makes sense absolutely when we're talking about the Art and Science of accessibility. I'm getting far more on the idea however if we're going to move it from ticky-tacky tack it on later to the place accessibility begins and that is with content.
