What is website accessibility and why is it so important
Manage episode 380372921 series 3420924
People with disabilities may have various challenges that can affect their ability to use the internet and access online content. The goal of website accessibility is to ensure that everyone, including individuals with disabilities, can access and interact with the content and functionality of a website with ease and without barriers.
For organizations, it's not only a legal and ethical responsibility but it’s also beneficial for business, as it opens up content and services to a larger audience.
In this episode, we discuss the term ‘accessibility’ and why it’s so important in web design, with Sue Irving, Senior User Experience Designer, Lucie Farrington, UX Researcher and Rachel Wright, Senior UX Researcher at The Very Group.
Hear them discuss how organizations can create more inclusive digital experiences that accommodate a broader range of users, regardless of their abilities.
