What is Accessibility?
Accessibility refers to removing barriers that prevent people with disabilities from interacting with a website. This includes users with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments. Adherence to web accessibility relies on meeting the standards set by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Why Accessibility Matters in Design & Development
Designing for accessibility is not just a regulatory necessity (especially for Enterprise clients); it is a core principle of good UX (User Experience) that expands your reach and improves site quality for everyone.
- Expands Market: Ensures your site is usable by a larger population, including those who rely on screen readers or other assistive technologies.
- Improves SEO: Many accessibility best practices (like clear Visual Hierarchy and semantic HTML structure) align directly with technical SEO requirements.
- Reduces Risk: Compliance with WCAG standards can protect your business from potential legal challenges.
