Design with Accessibility in Mind
Accessibility, for us, is not just about making information available to users with disabilities—it's about making information available to everyone, regardless of their capabilities or situation. Designing an app with accessibility in mind means prioritizing simplicity and perceivability and examining every design decision to ensure that it doesn't exclude users who have different abilities or interact with their devices in different ways.
