Access for All: Why Accessibility Must Be at the Heart of Every Website in 2025
What if your best customer tried to reach your website… and couldn’t use it at all?
No buttons are working with their keyboard.
No alt text for images.
No captions for your promotional video.
This isn’t fiction—it’s the daily reality for millions of users around the world. And it’s exactly why digital accessibility is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’—it’s a business essential.
At Accessione, we don’t build websites just to look beautiful. We build them to include everyone. And with the backend power of Akshari Solutions, every project we launch blends design, performance, and accessibility.
💡 What Does Digital Accessibility Actually Mean?
Accessibility in the digital world refers to designing and developing websites and applications that everyone can use—regardless of ability or disability.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 1 billion people, or 15% of the global population, experience some form of disability. Yet many websites are still built without them in mind.
Accessibility addresses needs related to:
🔹 Visual impairments (e.g., blindness, low vision, color blindness)
🔹 Hearing loss
🔹 Mobility limitations
🔹 Cognitive or neurological disabilities
And when you design with these users in mind, everyone benefits.
🚨 Why Accessibility Matters to Your Brand
✅ It's the Law
In Canada, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) mandates accessibility compliance for digital platforms. Non-compliance? That can lead to legal fines and brand reputation damage. Learn more.
✅ It’s Good for SEO
Search engines prioritize accessible sites. Tools like proper semantic markup, alt text, and logical navigation also help you rank higher. Google Lighthouse even scores accessibility in its audits.
✅ It Boosts User Retention
Sites that are easier to navigate, read, and interact with naturally reduce bounce rates. Clear contrast, readable fonts, and keyboard navigation make for universal UX.
✅ It Expands Your Market
You’re not just optimizing for people with disabilities. You’re reaching:
Older adults
Temporary impairments (like a broken arm)
Low-bandwidth users
Non-native language speakers
Accessibility is inclusion. Inclusion drives engagement. Engagement drives conversions.
🧩 What an Accessible Website Looks Like
An accessible site isn’t just a checklist—it’s a philosophy. But yes, it also includes essentials like:
✅ Text alternatives for every image
✅ Closed captions and video transcripts
✅ Logical content structure using headings
✅ Keyboard-friendly navigation
✅ Focus indicators for interactive elements
✅ Descriptive link text
✅ High contrast and readable fonts
✅ Proper form labels and error handling
Accessione builds these standards in from the start—never tacked on after launch.
