Accessibility Overview
Accessibility Means More Customers
Making your website or web application accessible to people of diverse abilities is not just the right thing to do. It's also an inexpensive — and smart — business practice that can immediately expand your customer base. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, websites that are not accessible may be missing up to 20 percent of their target audience. Microsoft research concluded that 60 percent of working-age adults ages 18-64 are likely or very likely to benefit from the use of accessible technology. And usability guru, Jakob Nielsen, claims accessibility can increase the sales rate of a website by 100 percent and traffic by 150 percent.
So why doesn't everyone do it? Accessibility issues can be complex and in some cases must meet strict regulatory standards. And, of course, a range of diverse user abilities need to be addressed: low vision, blind, hearing loss, age-related conditions and mobility-impairments.
