With digital experiences now central to how companies interact with their customers and with 1 in 4 people in the U.S. having a disability, accessibility has become a central requirement for every digital touchpoint.
Digital accessibility isn’t just the right thing to do. It can drive increased revenue by making digital transactions easier. And it can reduce the risk of multimillion-dollar lawsuits faced by well-known companies over the past several years.
More and more, consumers are seeking out brands that align with their values like diversity and inclusion. They’re even willing to stop doing business with brands that don’t support their values in words or actions. Companies that fail to be inclusive of people with disabilities risk losing not just customers who are disabled but also those who disapprove of this shortcoming.
From Dominos to Beyoncé, big-name brands aren’t immune from facing accessibility-related lawsuits. Beyond the monetary damages that result from these legal cases, companies also face damage to their brand equity.
Most large organizations know they need to invest time and resources to ensure accessibility as their digital presence evolves. But even when accessibility is considered a must-have, it’s often a challenge to resource teams with the right talent and expertise. Here are all the ways we can help.
