Web Accessibility
Making the web usable for everyone is not just the right thing to do -- it is good for your business, required by law in many cases, and easier to achieve than most people think.
Why Accessibility Matters for Your Business
Over one billion people worldwide live with some form of disability. In the United States alone, roughly 1 in 4 adults has a disability that affects how they use the web. When your website is not accessible, you are turning away potential customers and exposing your business to legal risk.
Web accessibility means designing and building websites so that people with disabilities -- including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities -- can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with them. It benefits everyone, not just people with permanent disabilities. Someone with a broken arm, a person using their phone in bright sunlight, or an older adult whose eyesight has changed all benefit from accessible design.
The good news is that accessibility does not mean sacrificing aesthetics or functionality. Many accessibility improvements -- like clear navigation, readable text, and logical page structure -- make your site better for all visitors. The guides below will walk you through the most important topics so you can understand what accessible web design looks like in practice.
Accessibility Topics
WCAG Guidelines
Understand the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2), the international standard that defines how to make web content accessible to people with disabilities.
Screen Readers
How screen reader software works, why proper HTML semantics matter, and what you can do to make sure assistive technology users have a good experience on your site.
Keyboard Navigation
Many people navigate the web without a mouse. Learn how keyboard-only users interact with websites and how to make sure every feature on your site is reachable.
Color Blindness
Roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women have some form of color vision deficiency. Learn how color choices in web design affect these users and how to design inclusively.
