A11Y Insight

Many people who are blind or have visual disabilities use screen readers to navigate websites, read documents, and access digital content.

Screen readers convert on-screen text into speech or braille, allowing users to independently access information online. Features such as descriptive alternative text, proper heading structure, meaningful link text, and accessible documents help ensure digital content is usable for everyone.

Designing with accessibility in mind creates a more inclusive experience for all users.

Voice assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa have become common features on everyday devices—but for many people with disabilities, they are essential tools for independence.

Voice technology can help users navigate devices, send messages, make phone calls, search the web, set reminders, and complete everyday tasks without relying on a keyboard or touchscreen.

Designing digital experiences that work with assistive technologies helps ensure everyone can access information and services.

A11Y Insight

Did you know that 80% of people who use captions are not deaf or hard of hearing?

Captions benefit a wide range of viewers, including people watching videos in quiet offices, noisy public spaces, or with their sound turned off. They also improve comprehension, support language learners, and make content more accessible for everyone.

Accessibility features often benefit far more people than we realize.

A11Y Insight

Did you know that dyslexia is more common than naturally red hair? It's estimated that around 7% of the population has dyslexia.

Using clear fonts, sufficient spacing, strong color contrast, and plain language can make digital content easier to read and understand for everyone—not just individuals with dyslexia.

Accessible design creates a more inclusive experience for all users.

A11Y Insight

According to WebAIM's 2025 Million Report, 94.8% of homepages had detectable accessibility errors. These barriers can prevent people with disabilities from fully accessing information, services, and online experiences.

Creating accessible websites isn't just about meeting standards—it's about ensuring everyone has equal access to digital content.

Join us at A11y Camp 2026 to learn practical strategies for improving web accessibility and building more inclusive digital experiences.

A11Y Insight:

An estimated 8% of males have a color vision deficiency. When important information is communicated using color alone, some users may miss critical details.

Improve accessibility by pairing color with text, icons, labels, or patterns so your content can be understood by everyone.

Thoughtful design creates a better experience for all users.
