What is an accessible website?

Data from accessibility studies indicate a potential increase of 25% -62% in the amount of visitors to your site as a result of the accessibility of the site.

The benefits of an accessible site
An accessible site provides customers with a convenient and user-friendly browsing experience. An accessible site is a site tailored to the needs of all your customers. People who do not perceive themselves as people with disabilities also need accessible sites due to vision problems (such as color blindness or difficulty reading small-scale writing). These surfers will feel uncomfortable at an inaccessible site, although in most cases they are unaware of the causes. In such cases, users will find it difficult to locate information and refer to another site where they feel more comfortable.

Cost savings
The move to providing Internet services and information will save about 90% of the operating costs of your business services. The more you train your customers to receive services over the Internet, the more you will save on the operational costs of the services you provide, as well as the delivery of mail via e-mail instead of sending mail, invoices and the like. In this case too, you must provide accessible e-mail, according to the principles of accessibility of Internet sites

An accessible website allows a surfer with disabilities and older people to surf the same level of efficiency and enjoyment as any other surfer. Building an accessible site is not only a matter of social commitment and of meeting strict standards in laws and regulations. The accessibility of your site will significantly increase your ranking in search engines and will open up new opportunities for you to reach a new target audience and new market segments. An accessible site will upgrade your site level and make it better and more profitable.

The four principles for making your site accessible are taken from an accessible site

First principle: Perception - that is, the information and components included in the user interface must be presented in such a way that the user can easily understand the content on the page using the senses available to them, or using the technology when necessary.
Second Principle: Operable - The components and navigation method of the user interface on the site will be executable without requiring unnecessary or complicated operations, meaning that the users will activate the site or access other pages only by means of operations that can be performed easily.
Principle 3: Understandable - The user should understand the information on the web page and how the user interface is run, ie, the content and functionalities of functions on the page should not be beyond the comprehension of a standard user.
Fourth principle: Technological stability - The content must be stable enough to enable reliable translation of the content by a wide variety of means of presentation and browsing, including assistive technologies.
These are the principles, and it seems that this will be a simple task, but a task that can be met if you know how to approach it.
