As mentioned in a previous article, it is very important to
consider the needs of people with special abilities when opening an e-commerce store. One of the ways to do
so is to incorporate facilities for hearing and visually impaired individuals.
To do so, while designing your website, you must think about
those who navigate the internet through voice and implement facilities to cater
to their needs. You might also consider redesigning your online shopping
site if that is not the case. While this might seem inefficient and may involve
a lot of work, it is best to get it over with to avoid a lawsuit and other
complications.
Additionally, you should ensure that your site’s text can be
modified and resized by a reader who is visually impaired. Another strategy
would be to build a screen reader in
your e-commerce store so that the text can be read by an individual who might,
in normal cases, use Braille to read. Other important features to include are text
transcripts for visual content. This is because consumers with special needs
need to have another way to understand the content that they cannot see.
Another simple adjustment that can make a big difference is
defining your website’s language. This is because users with text
readers will be able to use it more effectively.
