Make your website accessible and open it to millions of potential new customers
Web accessibility is not just for disabled people. With an aging population, web developers who ignore this important issue will likely see less traffic and shorter web site visits. Quite simply, implementing web accessibility standards helps search engine rankings and improves web site usability (even for non disabled users). A 2004 Forrester Research report even stated...
"57 percent of current working-age computer users may benefit from accessible technology because of mild to severe vision, hearing, dexterity, speech and cognitive difficulties and impairments."
As the U.S. population continues to age, the number of people who experience these impairments will increase, and more people will likely turn to accessible technology to mitigate the effects of their changing physical abilities."
Good SEO Improves Website Accessibility
Many companies ignore web accessibility simply because it does take some extra effort and they can’t build the value for putting in that effort. Others simply don’t even know that they can follow some basic web accessibility guidelines and make incremental improvements.
