Digital accessibility
Designing websites, apps and documents usable by everyone, including people with disabilities.
Digital accessibility aims for an online service to be usable by as many people as possible, whatever their visual, auditory, motor or cognitive abilities. Nearly one in four people in Europe lives with a disability.
Beyond the legal obligation, it is a matter of audience and quality: an accessible site is often faster, better structured and better ranked in search.
Frequently asked questions
Where do you start when nothing has been done?
With the most visited templates and the journeys that lead to an action: home page, contact form, checkout. Fixing one page template fixes every page that uses it, which has more effect than handling pages one by one.
Does accessibility cost more?
It costs little when it is taken into account from the design stage, and a lot when it is added afterwards. The gap comes from rework: changing a mockup is quick, rebuilding a component already in production is not.
