Four main groups of people can find websites difficult to use, these are:
- People with sensory impairment, for example; partial or complete blindness, colour blindness or deafness.
- People with other disabilities, for example; arthritis, which makes it difficult to use a mouse or other pointing devise.
- People with special educational needs who may find lengthy or complicated websites hard to use.
- People without access to the latest specification, computer hardware or software.
