Designing for inclusivity and accessibility

Creating a more inclusive web starts with including a diverse group of people in the design and testing process. This means testing with individuals from different age groups, abilities, and backgrounds to ensure that the design is accessible and usable for everyone. Designers should address issues such as color contrast, typography, font sizes, and tab target sizes to improve inclusivity. By understanding the specific needs and challenges of different user groups, designers can make more informed design decisions and create a more inclusive user experience.
