Understand how to achieve compliance and protect your business. We share web development techniques and all that we’ve learned on the front lines of accessibility.
Accessible web design is the practice of building websites that work for every user, regardless of ability. That includes people who rely on screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, captions, or magnification to interact with digital content. It also benefits users in situational contexts, someone operating a phone with one hand, watching […]
Screen readers are among the most critical tools in digital accessibility. They convert on-screen text, images, and interface elements into synthesized speech, enabling people who are blind, have low vision, or have other print-related disabilities to navigate the web independently. This page compiles the most current screen reader usage statistics. […]
Keyboard accessibility allows users to navigate and interact with a website without using a mouse. Many people rely on keyboards because of physical disabilities, temporary injuries, visual impairments, or personal browsing preferences. When websites do not support proper keyboard interaction, users can struggle to access menus, forms, buttons, and other […]

Cognitive accessibility is about making digital content clear, simple, and easy to navigate so people with cognitive disabilities can use it and […]
Web accessibility is evolving rapidly, and the numbers reveal just how significant the challenge has become. This report compiles the most important web accessibility statistics, trends, and legal data in one place, providing a centralized and reliable resource for understanding the current state of digital accessibility. 94.8% of websites fail […]
Forms are portals to essential online services. When poorly designed, they become obstacles that frustrate screen reader users and prevent task completion. Proper structure turns forms accessibility from a checkbox into a working experience that reduces errors, builds user confidence, and allows for independent completion. Structure matters because that’s how […]
Every click on a website matters. Link accessibility determines whether visitors can find what they’re looking for or struggle to find important information.
