What is Accessibility?
Accessibility in product design ensures that a product is usable by people with various disabilities, including those with physical, visual, auditory, or cognitive impairments. Designing with accessibility in mind involves creating features and interfaces that accommodate a wide range of needs, such as providing alternative text for images, using high contrast colors, and ensuring keyboard navigability.
Implementing accessibility principles not only helps in meeting legal requirements but also enhances the overall user experience by making products inclusive. This approach fosters a more equitable interaction environment, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can access and benefit from the product.
