Openness

Why?

One might want to make their work and content open to the web so that they can spread information that they believe is important. Or, perhaps to gain traction and popularity to make money.

How?

A method you can use to make content open is sites for posting stuff such as YouTube for videos, Tumblr for blogs, Twitter (now X) for conversations, and many more!

Accessibility

Why?

A person might want to make their content and work accessible for a variety of reasons, such as to bring more users to the site, make it easier to navigate, and likely to avoid being sued.

How?

There are many tools you can use to make your content more accessible. For example, color contrast is a really important thing. Users should be able to actually read the information you are sharing. Another way is to use alternative text to describe any images that appear on the screen to help with those using a screen reader. Listed below is a website that has a few tips to aid in making an accessible website.
