Accessibility is important for a number of reasons. They include:
Improved Usability: Accessibility improves the
usability of a website or application. Features like clear
navigation, intuitive design, and so on benefit all users. They also
contribute to user satisfaction, usability and overall engagement with
products and services.
User Base: When your platform is accessible, it
increases your user base, as people from different backgrounds and
situations can use your platform. This expands the reach and customer
base of your product.
Experience: Incorporating accessibility in your
designs will enhance the experience of your users (disabled
or not), making it easier to interact with your platform.
Rights & Inclusion: Accessibility promotes
inclusivity and prevents discrimination based on
disabilities. Everyone deserves to have equal access to opportunities,
information, and social services.
Ethical Requirements: Legally and ethically,
accessibility is a requirement for different domains and platforms.
Adhering to these legal requirements ensures compliance and helps your
client avoid potential legal issues.
