What is Digital Accessibility?
Digital accessibility is the process of removing barriers in digital content – from websites, to apps, digital assets like PDFs, and other online platforms, ensuring they’re inclusive, beneficial, and easy to use for people of all abilities.
Barrier-free digital accessibility requires implementing design and development practices that make digital content accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with a range of disabilities such as:
-
Visual Impairments – including limited to low vision, varying degrees of blindness to total loss of vision, and deaf-blindness.
-
Motoric Disabilities – including any conditions that limit range of motion or dexterity required to use a mouse or navigate touchscreens, rheumatoid or musculoskeletal conditions, missing limbs from birth or other injuries, along with temporary impairment due to accidents.
-
Cognitive & Learning Disabilities or Impairments – including an individual’s capacity to process and understand information, and can affect their sensory and communication abilities from movement, to speech, sight, and physical interaction with their environment. Conditions include, ADHD, epilepsy, learning disabilities, autism, and MS.
-
Deafness or Hearing Impairments – including minimal loss or limitation of hearing, to full deafness.
Why is Digital Accessibility Important?
Since technology runs so many aspects of our lives, digital accessibility is everyone’s right and every organization’s responsibility. From designers and developers, to content creators and stakeholders, following digital accessibility standards is imperative to any technology or website design on a business, legal, and ethical level. Reasons and incentives to benchmark and lead as innovators of digital accessibility standards include:
-
Legal compliance: Complying with regulatory requirements such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are essential for digital accessibility. Failing to comply with these laws can result in penalties, lawsuits, and reputational damage.
-
Increased Audience Reach: Digitally accessible assets will help your organization increase your target audience and loyal customer base, including people with disabilities who might otherwise experience barriers accessing your products and services.
-
Improved User Experience: Optimizing digital accessibility standards improves user experience for every user, not just those with disabilities. Enabling and including video closed-captions and transcripts for videos benefits individuals with hearing, cognitive, or learning disabilities, but also helps someone who prefers to read and consume content without audio.
-
Social Responsibility: Digital accessibility is recognized as part of social and ethical responsibilities, as opposed to being a strictly legal conformance matter. Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion is fostered when technologies and assets are digitally accessible, celebrating, acknowledging, and respecting the diverse needs of all individuals.
-
Protecting Brand Reputation: By prioritizing digital accessibility you position your brand as an industry leader, with inclusivity and innovation boosting brand reputation and giving you a practical advantage over competitors.
-
Innovation & Future-Proofing: The demand for accessibility is only increasing as our world population ages and with increased awareness of diverse user needs. Investing in digital accessibility can add an innovative touch to user experience that’s forward-thinking in a critically technological world.
