Web accessibility is growing in importance as each day goes by. Alongside with this growth, also the need of access to web resources, by those with some sort of disability, is increasing.

Given this, it's mandatory that the web presents itself as a totally accessible resource, so that it can help the disable citizens in their integration within the society.
