Accessibility Is Not Enough

[Tags: web design, accessibility]. So says Jakob Nielsen in his latest Alertbox. Here's his concluding par:

"When you want to improve your website for users with disabilities, remember the real goal: to help them better use the site. Accessibility is a necessary, but not nearly sufficient, objective. Your main focus should be on the site's usability for disabled users, with an emphasis on how well the design helps them accomplish typical tasks."
