RE: Why web3 needs to embrace accessibility

in LeoFinance10 months ago

Great post and a great point to bring up. I know that there may not be individuals to go after on web3 for being inaccessible, but it is a significant issue on the regular web. There have been numerous lawsuits filed against website owners for not having accessible websites, and even mom and pop website owners are being targeted by lawyers. However, it goes beyond legal consequences - it is the right thing to do from a human standpoint. Failing to make websites accessible means excluding a whole demographic of users.

I am really glad to see someone addressing this important issue with such a needed post.

Yes, great point. My very first accessibility project happened because one of my clients got sued for not having an accessible website.

I agree with you 100%. Beyond legal or financial reasons, it must be done simply because we cannot exclude those people.

Thanks for the kind words :)
