The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) is a branch of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) which aims to improve the accessibility of the World Wide Web for those using all kinds of user agents as well as web browsers, such as screen readers, mobile phones and braille browsers. The WAI has developed a series of guidelines to this end, particularly with physically disabled internet users in mind.

Compliance with these guidelines is wise, not only because excluding any group of people is inadvisable and unethical, but also because WAI compliant sites are often more neatly designed and are more attractive to search engines.
