Web Standards

According to definition in wikipedia, web standards is defined as "... a general term for the formal standards and other technical specifications that define and describe aspects of the World Wide Web. In recent years, the term has been more frequently associated with the trend of endorsing a set of standardized best practices for building web sites, and a philosophy of web design and development that includes those methods."
As there are majority disability people in the world, web accessibility is not that convenient  for every individual person, W3C(World Wide Web Consortium) "develops and mantains the protocols used on the web to insure interoperability and promote universal access." 
Web designers need to think about how to design the web page that will be suitable for different kind of disability people such as deaf, blind, etc. I don't know how many disability people in the world, but they have the right to play on the internet  as normal people. Therefore web page designers face the challenge. People probably think that disability people should not use the internet as it's very difficult and complicated for designers to design the special web pages for them, disability people bother a lot. However, think this problem in another way, it's a chance for web page designers to improve and develop their skills and perhaps they could learn more and new things from this case. Every coin has two sides.
