The Content
What does accessibility mean?
Digital services are truly effective when they are accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of individual circumstances. A clear structure, understandable content, and easy navigation help ensure that everyone can find their way around and use the content without difficulty.
Learn the basics about accessibility and why it’s important for your business.
How do I make content accessible?
Good content often seems self-evident, but this is precisely where many barriers arise. What seems clear and intuitive to some may be difficult for others to understand or even impossible to use. Digital offerings, in particular, quickly reveal just how differently people perceive and use content.
The next step involves addressing the questions regarding the design requirements.
What role does technology play in accessibility?
Accessibility doesn’t end with design. Technical implementation also determines whether content is truly usable. Even well-designed content can become inaccessible if it isn’t implemented correctly from a technical standpoint. Structure, code, and the tools used influence how content is interpreted by screen readers, keyboards, or other assistive technologies.
In this chapter, you’ll learn which technical aspects are crucial and what you should keep in mind.
How do I ensure accessibility throughout the process?
Accessibility is determined during project management. This is where you define which requirements apply, how they will be tested, and who will be responsible. Without clear criteria and established processes, accessibility often remains a marginal issue. With a clear “Definition of Done,” simple tests, and clearly defined roles, however, it becomes an integral part of the project.
