Why is web accessibility so important?
IT IS A BASIC CIVIL RIGHT
The internet has become the most important innovation of our lifetime. Making it inclusive is the most significant step towards achieving a society that prioritizes the inclusion of all its people and values, everyone, for who they are, regardless of abilities. The pandemic highlighted how critically important web accessibility is. In the same way that every restaurant needs a wheelchair-accessible ramp, every website needs to make adjustments for people with disabilities so they access its content. Everyone should be able to enjoy your website , regardless of ability!
IT REAFFIRMS YOUR COMMITMENT TO INCLUSION
Making accessibility a priority is a tangible, visible step towards creating change and demonstrating your organization’s commitment to inclusion for everyone. An accessible website provides an immediately welcoming experience and shows people with disabilities that you put your values into action.
IT ALLOWS YOU TO REACH MORE PEOPLE
Why wouldn’t you want to reach a larger audience? Online accessibility impacts about 20% of the world’s population, so an inaccessible website means you could lose up to one-fifth of your website visitors. Better accessibility translates to a broader reach for your organization, including in website traffic, online donations, participation in services and programs, and recruiting staff and volunteers.
IT’S THE LAW … SORT OF
It’s true that there is currently no federal legislation in Canada requiring online accessibility. However, the country is undoubtedly heading in the direction of mandatory accessibility practices, with Ontario leading the way with its Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). While organizations in Ontario must comply with existing legislation, those in other provinces must be prepared for the possibility of future legislation in line with the AODA that could be enacted in their area.
IT’S AN INEVITABILITY
While web accessibility was already becoming an industry standard and gaining momentum prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the events of the past few years certainly brought the issue of web accessibility to the forefront for many, leading to even faster adoption. Governments, too, are realizing its importance, meaning increased legislation around accessibility may follow soon. Very soon, web accessibility is likely to be so widespread as to be expected by all of your website users. The cost of waiting to implement accessibility is much higher that the benefits of making this shift now.
Remember, accessibility is a basic right that benefits everyone, regardless of whether it is required by legislation.
Take a stand and get accessible. Quite simply, it’s the right thing to do.
