According to the World Report on Disability from the World Health Organization, 15 percent of the world’s population, or 1 billion people, experience some form of disability at one point in their lives. This number will only increase as the population ages. Creating an accessible and inclusive experience is not only critical for your users but also for your business.

Building accessibility into the design of your application from the beginning reduces risk, extends your market reach, and increases the strength of your brand. Testing your application for accessibility at the end of your project usually leads to unsatisfactory experiences that could have been mitigated in the design and development stages.
