Web Accessibility at the University of California
The Challenge
Providing a text-only version of a Web page in lieu of creating accessible pages is not a good solution for accessibility. Text-only sites may benefit blind users (as well as people with slow Internet connections); however, they do not benefit people who are deaf, have motor or cognitive disabilities, seizure disorders, or color-blindness or low vision. In addition, they are rarely maintained as often as the "official" page they mirror, resulting in less than equal access to information.
