Website accessibility is about people, not just compliance.
When people hear “website accessibility,” they often think only about blind users or screen readers. That is an important part of accessibility, but it is not the whole picture.
An inaccessible website can also affect people who:
• have low vision or color blindness
• are deaf or hard of hearing
• have limited mobility or use a keyboard instead of a mouse
• have cognitive or learning disabilities
• are recovering from an injury
• are older and experiencing changes in vision, hearing, or dexterity
Accessibility is really about whether people can use your website successfully.
Can they read the text?
Can they navigate the menu?
Can they fill out a form?
Can they understand what to do next?
Can they access the same information as everyone else?
A more accessible website is often a better website for everyone.
