A website with a high-level of accessibility, has removed all barriers preventing users from accessing it. In this article we will learn why you must take your websites accessibility seriously, the issues surrounding poor website accessibility and what you can do to improve your website so that it works better, for more of your users. If your website has poor accessibility, you are reducing the size of your audience because those who cannot access it will not buy from you or donate to your charity. This is because users can't acomplish what they need. It could be that they cannot navigate to the pages they want to view or even assimilate the information you are trying to communicate to them. Depending on a users goal, they need a clear journey through your sites pages to achieve that. So with your reduced audience, poor accessibility will affect your important website conversions, which means you are wasting marketing budget too. Users will get frustrated and leave, leading to a high bounce rate. Poor accessibility will also erode trust in your brand and could affect your reputation. It could be seen as discriminating against users or not supporting those who really need it. This is bad for any business, especially those who are particularly seeking to build a reputation for inclusion. Furthermore, this won't help encourage investment in your business or donations to your charity from businesses who will want to see more effort made to be accessible for all.
