Digital Agencies today need to be keenly attuned to what their solutions are and how their services can be perceived by their customers and stakeholders — but they’ll be hard-pressed to do so if they don’t consider accessibility and inclusion.
Accessibility is the practice of designing experiences for people with visual, linguistic, auditory, physical and cognitive disabilities in digital product design. The term barrier-free design or usable design is a universal design approach that leads to a product or service that is easy to use for everyone, including people with disabilities.
If you are a digital agency, you would have noticed customers have started to request for accessibility as a part of their inclusive communication strategy. Today, many requests for proposals (RFPs) require agencies to demonstrate the effectiveness of their accessibility and inclusive solutions. It has become more than important to now turn your digital solutions into accessible master pieces as a new way of moving forward.
