Web Accessibility for Designers

Web accessibility is often something that gets pushed to the side. It’s easy to assume that all users can see, user a keyboard, use a mouse or touch screen, and overall interact with your website or product content the same way you do. But this simply isn’t true. Assuming everyone can use things in the exact same ways leads to an experience that works well for some people, but creates major issues or barriers for others.

Accessibility is starting to gain more traction in the design and tech industries, especially since more and more countries are creating laws surrounding accessibility.
