1.3 billion people globally have disabilities. Ignoring accessibility means ignoring a massive market.

The Numbers

  • $13 trillion in annual disposable income
  • 71% of users with disabilities leave inaccessible sites
  • Accessible sites see 50% higher conversion rates

Beyond Disability

Accessibility improvements help everyone: - Captions help in noisy environments - High contrast helps in bright sunlight - Keyboard navigation helps power users

SEO Benefits

Accessible sites rank better: - Semantic HTML improves crawlability - Alt text provides context - Transcripts add indexable content

Getting Started

  • . Audit current state with automated tools
  • . Conduct manual testing with assistive technology
  • . Include users with disabilities in research
  • . Build accessibility into design system
  • . Train developers on WCAG guidelines

Accessibility is a journey, not a checkbox. Start now and iterate.
