What is digital accessibility?

Digital accessibility refers to the design and development of digital content, websites, and applications that are usable by people with disabilities. This includes making sure that those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with digital products. Digital accessibility often follows standards such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to ensure inclusivity. Prioritizing accessibility not only benefits users with disabilities but also improves the overall user experience for everyone. Many organizations are legally required to provide accessible digital content.
