User accessibility testing with client during Meet Magento PL

Accessibility

20% of the US population have a form of disability or impairment, yet only 2% of the billions of websites are accessible to them. This web accessibility gap prevents a significant proportion of the global population from participating in the internet. At Snowdog, we want to work towards closing this gap, and ensure as many people as possible can benefit from the products we work on.

A11y is our priority from day one of design and development. It's an integral part of our existing themes and design patterns, so not only do we build accessible solutions from scratch, but we have experience working with clients that need meet certain a11y requirements to comply with discrimination laws. People with disabilities comprise a significant market with spending power and by excluding them, businesses miss out on great opportunities.

We work at the unique intersection of eCommerce, mobile tech, front-end technologies and accessibility which makes us uniquely suited to help clients prioritise a11y and elevate their business.

Why your website needs to be accessible?

Web accessibility is not a "nice to have" feature anymore. It is considered a standard requirement for websites, next to performance and SEO. Here are some facts you may not know:

    Legislation to protect users from discrimination online already exists in many countries, meaning many business are at risk of litigation.

    A11y doesn't just apply to disabilities. Temporary or circumstantial events, for example, those with weak internet connections, or those caring for children can benefit from a11y.

  • 05
