Introducing web page accessibility overview

The top three ways to make your site in-accessible

1	Provide information in a format that absolutely requires "something extra" from the user... something they might not have like sight, hearing, mobility like a particular browser, or an obscure plug-in or a high speed connection like prescience (forget to include basic page and site navigation tools) This applies to  a very large audience including people with many functional limitations such as a disability, usinging older technology or online with a low bandwidth connection
2	Lay out your information in a highly complex manner by not using special markup for displaying large complex data tables (spreadsheets), by using FRAMES without special markup to open a series of fixed or varying information windows, by including text in more than one language on a given page This area applies to users of older technology (and there are still many), and probably confusing to individuals who did not grow up watching music-videos. This are is also quite likely to be inaccessible to many people with visual or cognitive impairments
3	Use a lot of HTML "tricks" to enhance the visual display of your page (instead of using a style sheet) misuse HTML elements like H1-6, UL, OL, BLOCKQUOTE, CITE, etc. misuse or don't use alt-text and title misuse colours and fonts This area covers making your Web page less useful to browsers that understand HTML, and confusing to some people who use verbal aids to access the internet.
