what is accessibility
Web accessibility refers to the ability of computer systems to provide services even to those with temporary and other disabilities, and therefore using assistive technologies. In just a few decades, the planet has become increasingly digitized. We have practically created a parallel digital reality, with which we are gradually replacing everything that was done physically in the past.
It is precisely from the development of new technologies and the growth in the importance of the web that the idea of digital inequality is born: the web has grown without any real structure, generating a digital divide that is even more evident today.
Web accessibility benefits the whole society
Digital accessibility is not just about people with the most severe disabilities or a small market niche. In addition to being aimed principally at an audience that composes 15-20% of the population, best practices to be followed to achieve full accessibility improve the experience for all users.
"Digital accessibility breaks down virtual walls, creating new paths that were unthinkable until recently. Thanks to Accessiway and their Plug-in, I have been able to navigate many sites safely and easily, performing operations in total autonomy."
- Alessia Volpin
It is a journey that involves multiple elements and people
Achieving accessibility and being able to maintain it over time requires starting a journey that involves experts, users with disabilities, state-of-the-art tools, and dedicated support.
Many countries have already incorporated web accessibility into existing legislation.

Dulàc Farmaceutici
"Dulac Farmaceutici’s mission is to help people with well-being in their daily life. We want to offer equal access to this and our partnership with AccessiWay operates in this exact direction, by letting everybody access to our website and all its content"
Provincia di Lecce
"The Province of Lecce strongly believes that accessibility is not a product, but an ongoing process. With this further step, we are breaking down architectural computer barriers: citizen users with blindness, visual impairments, cognitive impairments, motor impairments, epilepsy will have easier and facilitated access".
Comune di Livorno
"The new tool is part of a package of initiatives that the municipal administration is implementing in the area of inclusive digital innovation, with a focus on citizens and their needs. This is made possible thanks to the work of the Municipality's Information Systems sector, which is doing an excellent job on the digital innovation front."
ASL Roma 6
"We chose to do this as a moral duty. The Internet is now a fundamental tool in communication [...] We as a health care company cannot and will not be complicit in the burden of this inequality in the free use of the Web."
Comune di Nuoro
"Our administration aims to put the citizen at the centre and has also done so through the creation of the municipality's new institutional website, conceived and designed to be inclusive and to improve the accessibility requirements of digital public services in terms of practicality".
Comune di Civitanova Marche
"We are one of the first entities nationwide to use new technology to increase the accessibility of a web portal through a partnership with Accessiway."
Comune di Monza
"The solution adopted further helps people with disabilities navigate more easily through various digital content. It is a customized tool that adds an important piece to the challenging work of removing both physical and virtual architectural barriers."
Retro Consulting Group
"The strength of a brand and a company's attention to the individual are demonstrated by its interest in a type of innovation that is not only technological, but also and above all social. This is why we are proud of the partnership and feel perfectly aligned with AccessiWay, a benchmark in accessibility."
We have made hundreds of European and international realities inclusive:
"Accessibility is, to some extent, synonymous with freedom. Freedom to choose, to make one's voice heard and express oneself regardless of disability or personal characteristics. Digital accessibility, today, is the highest expression of this freedom, because it opens doors and paths to those who, until now, have had no voice"
- Dajana Gioffrè, CVO AccessiWay
