One in five Australians has a disability. Your site should work for them.
Web accessibility means building sites that work for people with visual, auditory, cognitive and motor disabilities. In Australia, the Disability Discrimination Act creates legal obligations , and good accessibility practice benefits everyone.
THE OBLIGATION
Accessibility is a legal requirement, not a nicety.
The Australian Human Rights Commission has confirmed that websites must comply with the Disability Discrimination Act. WCAG 2.1 AA is the recognised standard. An inaccessible site creates real legal risk and excludes a significant portion of your potential customers.
THE BENEFIT
Accessible sites are better sites.
The techniques that make sites accessible , clear focus states, logical heading structure, sufficient colour contrast, keyboard operability , make sites better for everyone. Accessibility improvements consistently improve SEO, usability and conversion alongside compliance.
