What is website accessibility?
It is a process of designing websites using tools and technologies to make them accessible to all irrespective of disabilities. It ensures that a website is an accessible place for everyone. Web accessibility comprises all the disabilities like auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, speech, and visual.
Introducing the website accessibility feature in your design process gives you a sense of justice, and moves the organization to a strong business case. If you are offering user experience to a selected group of users there remains a chance of serious legal risks. It may be a new concept for a local digital marketing agency but is necessary as a marketing strategy.
