However, just like the stores with a step or two, which makes it completely inaccessible to individuals using wheelchairs, websites that aren't designed with accessibility in mind can rob individuals with disabilities of any new freedoms and opportunities they may have had.

In a PC World.com article, Kynn Bartlett, director of the HTML Writers Guild's Accessible Web Authoring Resources and Education Center and a Web site accessibility consultant states, "We're not talking about doubling the cost of your site; we're talking about adding 1 or 2 percent to its cost and increasing your audience by 20 percent,". Developing an accessible site is pricey only if you're redesigning a large site from the ground up.
