Accessible

An accessible product can be used by people with a wide range of abilities, including people with vision, hearing, motor, speech or cognitive disabilities.

Accessibility is part of inclusive design, which considers everyone’s circumstances: age, language and temporary situations such as a broken arm or bright sunlight on a screen.

Accessible choices often help everyone. Captions help people watching in a noisy café, and strong contrast helps anyone reading outdoors. Pro tip: never use color alone to show meaning; add a label or icon too.
