The concept of accessibility relates to the diverse needs and abilities of a diverse section of the user population – people with disabilities – and is expressed in degrees, which range from “fully accessible,” to “partially accessible," to “completely inaccessible". Establishing technical standards helps determine how accessible various products are. For example, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) are meant to judge how accessible website content is, and give ratings on the basis of the performance of the website to certain criteria.
