Using the internet has become a daily activity for us, to the point where, without the internet and its services, it can become difficult to perform tasks that are necessary for making it through our day. This is often the case for users living with disabilities when online experiences are poorly designed for accessibility – and that’s 25% of adults in the United States.
Adopting an accessibility-first mindset and consistently following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is key to creating meaningful and functional experiences for your users with disabilities. Not only does accessibility benefit your users, but it’s crucial to the overall success of your business in the long run.
An Adaptive Strategy is Beneficial to Your Business and Users
When organizations make it a point to incorporate accessibility into their design and development practices, they not only open their market to more than 60 million Americans, but they instill empathy and awareness within their teams, build brand authenticity, avoid the exhaustive future expense, mitigate legal risk, and improve SEO and findability in search engines like Google.
