Accessibility and inclusive design
Design for everyone, including people with disabilities.
📖 Key ideas
- Follow WCAG: perceivable, operable, understandable, robust.
- Colour contrast at least 4.5:1 for normal text.
- Don't rely on colour alone; add icons/labels.
- Support keyboard navigation and screen readers.
- Design for different languages, literacy levels and low-end devices.
💡 Real-life example: Accessibility is building ramps alongside stairs so everyone can enter.
