TYPO3 Accessibility Guide: Build a Website Everyone Can Use

in #typo314 hours ago

TYPO3 web accessibility is more important than ever, yet most websites still fall short of meeting proper standards. Studies show that only a small percentage of the top one million websites are fully accessible, leaving millions of users with disabilities unable to browse the web with ease. This highlights the urgent need for creating barrier free TYPO3 websites that work for everyone.
