Do you make these simple mistakes in digital accessibility?

Regulations and compliances are the setups in conjunction with the industry standard for the betterment of the users. That is how Digital Accessibility Compliance came into being. Organizations follow certain amendments adhering to these regulations. 

Web Content Accessibility

It is the Accessibility service that gives a great drive to the users with a different mindset. This works well if any users with Usability testing comes to the portion of the proportionately. The organization supports specific compliances to be accessible.

Digital compliance means that digital files, web pages, and other forms of accessibility should be equal to all the users (or to all members of the general public, depending on whom the communication is for), regardless of whether or not these individuals have disabilities.

These are the common mistakes that the organizations make:

1. Choosing not to be compliant

If you have decided that your business does not need to support the compliance, you should think over it again. You may feel there is no need for adhering to these compliances. However, according to digital accessibility compliance, you will be behind.

Compliance is required! If you are a supplier, having a lack of accessibility on your digital platforms and choose not to be compliant will affect the specially challenged users too challenged

If your electronic communications with clients or users are not accessible to everyone, whether or not they have disabilities – if, for instance, people who are blind and use screen readers cannot “read” the images on your website, because they don’t have an alt-text – then your organization is losing users.

2. Minimizing the Business Opportunity

Perhaps it is a big mistake. Approximately there are 3% of the total population in India with disabilities. Out of which 3% of the male and 3% of the female counts in India are disabled.

There are around 2.95 crores people with disabilities. Speech and hearing impairment is the most commonly seen among urban areas. About 36.3% of the impaired people (around 1 crore) are working. Thus, brands that try to ensure their digital assets are fully accessible are not only serving people with disabilities – they are also supporting themselves.

Why provide millions of customers with a reason to give their business to your competition?

Web accessibility additionally pulls in new users who don’t have disabilities, as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has shown. Accessible websites are quickly found by search engines, for instance, and are more effectively used by the diverse population.

3. Thinking accessibility compliances dont work.

Are you leaping RBI’ or any decision making bodies compliance guidelines just because you could prove it has nothing to do with your business? Its inappropriate. To win this argument, you need to show that the expense of getting your digitally accessible site is exceptionally high, or attaining accessibility is really difficult.

There are many sources accessible to your organization, including guidelines you can view free of charge, and digital powerhouse like TECHVED Consulting who are able to transform your digital properties into a cost-effective and exceptional one. Indeed, every other business like yours has already realized the importance of accessibility and made their digital asset compliances friendly. Hence it is difficult to be a user-friendly service without having accessible services.

4. Neglecting to secure every technology is Compliant

It is good to create every document and file as per the Web accessibility compliance guidelines. Every possible documents and interaction should be made easy to access and reliably informative. 

5. Designing the Flaws with Accessibility

If you have been taking steps to improve the accessibility of your digital assets, that’s a smart move. But it is worthless if it is done inappropriately. Without proper guidance, you may not understand your accessibility mistakes. For example, do not use random characters to separate links as per the compliances. As another example, don’t use access keys. If you don’t have the idea to fix up accessibility issues, then it’s necessary that you work with digital consultants.
