Madgex | Inclusive Design and Accessibility for Job Boards
Why does inclusive design matter? It’s good business sense, as well as altruistic.
If someone can’t access your product, or they have a bad experience of your service, then they won’t be able to or likely won’t want to be your customer. Ideally a business wants to engage users, keep them reading and make them want to come back for more. By missing out on creating an inclusive design, you’ll be missing out on conversion opportunities.
What is accessibility? Accessibility is a component of inclusive design.
This is a relatively new concept, only dating back to 1997 with the WorldWide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). The WAI brings together people from industry, disability organizations, government and research labs to develop guidelines and resources to make the web accessible to people with a disability.
A website, just like a building or public transport, should be accessible to all. Everyone should have access to information on the web and have a positive and equal experience.
