The internet is a revolutionary tool that has changed our lives since it was born! However, unfortunately, more than <\/strong>98% of the websites are failing to comply with accessibility requirements in the United States<\/strong><\/a>. That’s right, it has facilitated the daily lives of many people, but, on the other hand, it still has numerous barriers<\/a>, especially for people with disabilities. In order to end inequalities, there is something called accessible UX|UI design<\/strong>. So, if you want to learn more about it, just stay here with us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessible UX|UI design: why is it important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To start talking about it, we need to understand what UX|UI design is. <\/strong>\u201cUX design\u201d refers to the user experience<\/strong><\/a>, it is linked to a person’s level of satisfaction when using a digital platform, service or product. Here we are talking about emotion, what the visitor feels when coming into contact with a page.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term \u201cUI design\u201d means \u201cuser interface design\u201d<\/strong>. So, the \u201cUI\u201d is part of the physical experience of navigation, it is how the user interacts with the product<\/strong> (site, app, machine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what does this have to do with digital accessibility<\/a>? The lack of digital accessibility directly impacts the user experience and interface (UX|UI design)<\/strong>, as websites and apps designed for people without disabilities have many barriers<\/a> in general, which are excluding a large portion of the population.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, when some deaf people, who communicate using ASL (American Sign Language), try to navigate a page that does not have a translation to their natural language, they will find it very difficult to understand the content written in English<\/strong>. As well as blind people who browse with the help of screen readers, accessibility tools<\/a> that read all online content. It is necessary that the images have good alternative descriptions (ALT), otherwise, they will not have a good experience either, as they will not understand the visual information being transmitted there.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s where accessible UX|UI design comes in. It’s when we think about the experience and the user interface in a complete and inclusive way, allowing everyone to navigate with autonomy and comfort.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
