Upcoming Webinar: The Commercial Impact of Accessibility

The Commercial Impact of Accessibility

The web is for everyone, and no one should face barriers to accessing digital products and services they want and need. However, whilst progress has been made in recent years, many organisations’ products and services remain inaccessible – creating barriers to potential users and customers. We argue that smart businesses understand the need for equal access by all and invest in ensuring every customer touch point is accessible. In short – accessibility is good for business.

Focussing on website performance, this session looked at the some of the key commercial advantages of accessibility and offers practical tips for how your organisation can benefit.
