Why we need to put accessibility first!
summary
A clear claim backed by numbers and tools: only 2% of the top 1M sites meet basic accessibility while over a billion people have disabilities and 70% of UK people over 70 have hearing loss, so designing for aging and temporary needs matters. Field research finds one‑handed use, GPS and network limits, language barriers; changes include reformed plain English copy with shorter sentences, bigger type, alternative labels, and color work using Figma contrast plugin by Alex Carr. Accountability and iterative work drive measurable gains like better task completion and SEO.
