  • Why do designers need to know about accessibility?

    Designers need to know about accessibility because it ensures that their designs are inclusive and can be accessed by everyone, including people with disabilities. Accessible design means that people with visual, hearing, motor, or cognitive impairments can use and navigate a website or product as effectively as those without disabilities.


    When designers incorporate accessibility into their designs, they provide equal opportunities for all users to interact with their products, services, or websites. This not only helps create a more inclusive society but also benefits businesses by increasing their customer base and brand loyalty.


    Additionally, there are legal requirements in many countries that mandate accessibility compliance for digital products and services. Failure to comply with accessibility standards can result in legal penalties, financial losses, and damage to the company's reputation.
