Accessibility is concerned with the quality of being easy to use and understand.

Design for accessibility is often seen by companies as a waste of money because the impression is that people with disabilities make up a small segment of the population.

When you design for accessibility, you will often find that you create products that are easier for everyone to use not just those with disabilities. Don’t neglect accessibility in the user experience.

Finally, accessible design is now a legal obligation in many jurisdictions including the EU and failure to deliver it may result in fines. In The USA, there have been instances in which companies have been sued due to their failure in complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act on the topic of accessibility of their designs.
