UX tip of the day: Are you designing with accessibility in mind?

UX

Accessibility isn’t just a nice-to-have— it’s a fundamental part of good UX. When we think about creating inclusive digital experiences, we must consider everyone’s journey, not just the average user. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself:

🔹 How would someone with colour blindness navigate this interface?
🔹 What would the experience be like for a user relying on screen readers?
🔹 Can all users complete the core tasks without frustration?

Good UX isn’t just about pretty layouts or smooth interactions. It’s about ensuring that every user, regardless of ability, can find value and achieve their goals.

💡 Actionable tip: Start with small changes. Add alt text to images, ensure buttons are clearly labelled, and run your designs through free accessibility checkers. Building inclusivity into your process now saves costly rework down the line and—more importantly—makes the digital world a better place for all.

🧐 Consider one thing you can do today to make your designs more accessible?
