Usability is different that accessibility, however it is mistakenly seen as the same on occasion. They differ greatly from each and most people think that one is more important than the other. Though both must be taken into serious consideration, it is true that several of the ideals of accessibility are applicable to usability and vice versa.

A site can be made more accessible, or at least given a good frame to build from, if the usability is optimized. If the general public has trouble using your site, just think about how difficult it will be for those with disabilities. Along the same vein, the amount of consideration that is put into addressing accessibility needs is equally as valid for usability concerns.

Becoming even truer today than before, web design courses and schools find accessibility to the Internet to be vital since the Internet is a tool for web 2.0 technology.

Putting The User First: In web design, the basics rule is that the site should be well designed for people to use; all else is fluff. When you do away with Flash tricks from a toolbox aimed at sending people gigantic, bandwidth consuming images, what you have left is the task of providing the highest quality content service you are able to. It is important to remember that ease of use is about putting the needs of the user first before you start brainstorming or begin thinking about firing up Dreamweaver. How well the final product performs is the basis of judging any design project, whether it is shoes or web sites.
