Why is accessibility important?
- There are over 10 million people with disabilities in the UK with an estimated annual spending power of £80 billion . It makes commercial sense.
- Search engines can read accessible websites easier therefore raising your website within natural search rankings.
- Accessible websites have smaller file sizes; so your pages will be faster to load and result in reduced hosting costs .
- People now use a large number of devices to use the Internet and different browsers. Accessibility protects your brand integrity and ensures all people have the same great experience.
- There is a legal obligation in this country under the Disability Discrimination Act.
