Description

World Wide Web Day celebrates the invention of the World Wide Web by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. The web was designed as an open, universal platform for sharing information, and accessibility has been a core principle from the start. The W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) exist to ensure the web remains usable by everyone, regardless of ability. This day is a reminder that a truly open web depends on inclusive design, semantic HTML, assistive technology support, and a commitment to removing barriers to access.
