Over 5% of the world’s population, according to the World Health Organisation has some form of disability. This makes it difficult for them to access online content. To avoid unintentionally excluding anyone from accessing the websites we build we keep various key principles in mind when building pages.

Digital accessibility needs to be at the core and not just an afterthought.
