Description of the Accessibility Problem

Modern multimedia web browsers offer a rich variety of presentation techniques including different colors and fonts for text, static or moving graphics, sound and video, and advanced java and javascript applications. Web Designers take advantage of these features to create very useful and attractive web pages.

Unfortunately, many of these pages can cause problems for people with disabilities or limited computer equipment. However, with careful web page design techniques, web pages can be built so they are useful to everyone without losing the advanced multimedia features.
