I keep on knocking, but I can't come in!
When designing a web site you must consider all visitors, not just the majority. There are a large number of conditions, from minor to severe, which can impede a visitor from using a web site. Consideration needs to be given to those who are visually impaired, the deaf and those who have difficulty using a mouse, amongst others.
Providing access is now a legal requirement under the Disability Discrimination Act, covering not only buildings and printed materials, but also web sites. More than this, it makes sense to ensure that everyone can access your site easily so you can reach the broadest audience possible.
Developing a site for accessibility is not just a legal requirement, nor just good business practice to be able to communicate with all potential visitors - it also brings many other benefits. When done correctly, accessibility also improves clarity, page download speeds, makes the site easier to maintain and also helps search engines index the site.
