Embrace Accessibility To Increase Product Visibility - Ilana Davis

How to make your site a more accessible experience

  • Don't dismiss accessibility just because your product isn't primarily for disabled customers; 20% of consumers have a disability in one form or another
  • Optimize your pages for screen reader apps and programs
  • Add alt-text descriptions to any images included, especially product images
  • Use clearly contrasting texts and backgrounds, rather than over-designed fonts or funky tones

Accessibility advantages don't just allow and drive engagement and sales from those who suffer from restrictions or disabilities, they make shopping an easier and more enjoyable experience for all customers.
