What effects does good accessibility have?
Designing a website to be accessible leads to two important effects:
Better UI
Clear structure, understandable texts, and well-thought-out interactions that can be navigated by keyboard. All of this contributes to better user experience.
An accessible website is clearer, faster, and more pleasant to use.
More users = more customers
Just like stores that have ramps alongside stairs to welcome customers in wheelchairs, web accessibility allows users with various impairments to engage with a website.
Accessibility directly contributes to increased reach and conversion.
Conclusion
Accessibility is not an “extra,” but the core of good design for both offline and online. By considering it from the start, offerings are created that some desperately need and everyone enjoys using.
