Why Accessibility Matters for Everyone
More than 1 billion people worldwide have a disability, and in the U.S. alone, 1 in 4 adults are affected. An accessible website means reaching all potential customers, including those who are blind or visually impaired, deaf or hard-of-hearing, have cognitive or reading disabilities, or can’t use traditional keyboards and mice. It also helps people with seizure disorders, the elderly, less tech-savvy users, mobile users, those in rural areas or on metered connections, and even people with temporary or situational limitations. Accessibility isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for true digital inclusion.
