What Is Web Accessibility?
Web accessibility means designing websites and digital content that can be used by everyone — including people with disabilities such as visual, hearing, cognitive, or motor impairments.
As internet usage grows in Nigeria and globally, businesses must ensure their websites are inclusive, user-friendly, and compliant with accessibility standards like WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
Why Accessibility Matters in Web Design
1. Reach a Wider Audience
Over 1 billion people worldwide live with a disability. Making your website accessible ensures you don’t exclude potential users and customers.
2. Boost SEO Performance
Accessible websites often follow best practices in semantic HTML and site structure—this helps search engines crawl and rank your site better.
3. Improve User Experience for Everyone
Features like clear navigation, good color contrast, and readable fonts benefit all users, not just those with disabilities.
4. Legal Compliance & Reputation
Globally, businesses are being held legally accountable for inaccessible digital content. Building accessible websites shows social responsibility and builds trust in your brand.
5. Future-Proof Your Website
Technology and legal requirements are evolving. An accessible website is more adaptable, helping your business stay ahead of the curve.
