Accessible design: principles, challenges, and best practices

Abstract

Accessibility refers to the practice of designing products and experiences that are usable by all individuals, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities (World Wide Web Consortium [W3C], 2018). It is fundamentally about fostering inclusion, ensuring that no individual is excluded from utilizing digital tools or services. Accessibility goes beyond mere legal compliance; it seeks to uphold the principle that digital experiences should be available to all.
