Making your website accessible for people with disabilities makes sense for any business.

Incorporating accessibility on your website is the right thing to do today.

Why?

Because 25% of adults around the world. live with a disability, according to the CDC.

However, too many websites still lack accessibility features. That means millions of users are struggling to use the web.

What Is Web Accessibility?

Web accessibility is about designing and developing websites, tools, and technologies that people with disabilities can use, according to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

People with disabilities should be able to perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with, and contribute to the web.

Your website is often the first impression a potential customer may have of your business. For users with disabilities, the internet may be the most efficient way to interact with your business and the only impression they receive. By enhancing your website with accessibility features, the customer experience will be smoother and more enjoyable for every user who visits your site. Accommodating everyone’s needs is essential to an inclusive experience for every user.

An accessible website provides the ability to engage with web material equally as much as other users.
