Importance
Accessible digital services promote inclusion and are legally required in many regions, such as under the EU Directive or the European Accessibility Act. They benefit not only people with disabilities but also older users and those with temporary impairments.
Implementation
The technical foundation is provided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Key practices include:
- semantic HTML for screen reader compatibility
- sufficient contrast and scalable text
- ALT text for images
- full keyboard accessibility
Benefits
Accessibility improves usability, legal compliance, and reach – making it a valuable and economically relevant aspect of digital quality.
