Readability & Web: Let's build great inclusive projects
summary
Claims that small, specific changes raise comprehension for everyone not just people with dyslexia; reading on the web is non‑linear, driven by saccades and fixations, so place the most important fact up front and use clear headings. Airports (Schiphol) apply the 4 Cs: continuity conspicuity consistency clarity and that work transfers to sites. Practical tools: use semantic HTML, ARIA where needed, stop/pausable carousels, heat maps and low‑cost eye‑tracking evidence, prefer bold important content and cut excess text — tests show reduced copy increases findability.
