Inclusive design

At a time when user interfaces permeate every aspect of our lives, accessibility in digital design is not just an improvement - it's a necessity for creating inclusive environments. As the internet and digital services become ubiquitous, ensuring that all people can access and benefit from technology is not only a moral imperative, but increasingly a legal requirement. The drive for accessible applications reflects the growing social acceptance that all users, regardless of their physical limitations, have the right to access and use technology efficiently and without barriers.

The new era of digital accessibility

This article looks at the importance of accessibility, focusing on essential elements such as font sizes and contrasting colors, but also considering the broader spectrum of inclusive design practices. These features are crucial to help users with visual impairments, improve readability and ensure that information is perceptible. By prioritizing these aspects, developers and designers can significantly improve understanding and user experience for a large portion of the population. Focusing on this shows a commitment to design principles that should serve everyone and emphasizes the importance of inclusion in our digital society.

The impact of inclusive design

High-contrast colors ensure that text and interactive elements stand out clearly from their background, which is particularly important for people with different levels of vision, but also for everyone else, to enable good legibility. The contrast ratio is a decisive unit for the performance of a display. It defines the ratio of the luminance of the brightest hue (white) to that of the darkest hue (black) that the system can produce. This ratio is a key indicator of the display's ability to produce a range of color tones, which in turn affects the clarity, vividness and detail of the displayed image.
