If you want your e-commerce
store to be successful in this modern era, you must make sure that your website
is accessible to all customers. Creating such a site is the most logical thing
to do because everyone should have an equal opportunity to use the internet and
this will help you target more clients.
Web accessibility is a very important factor. For instance,
you would not open a retail store without a wheelchair ramp and other
facilities for individuals with special needs. In fact, regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
commercial outlets are required by the law to accommodate individuals with
special needs. While there are no legal requirements forcing the implementation
of web accessibility, many e-commerce stores are required to comply with
the ADA. Businesses that have websites that cannot be accessed by the deaf,
blind, people who navigate by voice or those with any kind of speech auditory,
cognitive or physical disability may face lawsuits. This may happen even if
regulations about website accessibility are not yet completely defined.
To help people with special needs, you can resize, re-space
and recolour texts on your e-commerce
website to accommodate viewers with vision impairment. Moreover, you can have a
button to stop animations and flashing designs for those with epilepsy.
Make
your website accessible for everyone
