Accessibility is the need of society

EVERYONE BENEFITS FROM SECTION 508 COMPLIANT WEBSITES

The same good techniques that make web pages accessible to those of us who use assistive technology benefit users of other devices as well. For example, people with...
 Slow Internet connections.
 Devices that do not show color
 Devices such as cell phones that have tiny screens
all make use of design features such as alt-text and keyboard access. While a highly motivated and patient person browsing the web with a tiny handheld monitor might find it possible to navigate your site, unlabeled graphics and vast navigation bars filled with indecipherable graphics might well render your site unusable.
