An accessible design system benefits not only users with disabilities but also improves overall usability, making products easier to navigate for everyone. By considering factors like color contrast, keyboard navigation, readable typography, and assistive technology support, you create a more seamless experience across different devices and user needs.

This section provides guidelines, best practices, and key principles to help you build digital experiences that are functional, inclusive, and equitable for all users.

Color Contrast Example

Color contrast plays a critical role in readability. Text with insufficient contrast can make content difficult or impossible to read, especially for users with low vision or color blindness. Ensuring proper contrast improves clarity and enhances the overall user experience.

A visual comparison of good and bad contrast in text. On the left, ‘Good contrast’ is displayed in bold black text with a green checkmark above it, indicating readability. On the right, ‘Bad contrast’ is shown in light gray text with a red prohibited symbol above it, demonstrating poor readability due to insufficient contrast.

Using accessible color contrast ensures that all users can read and interact with content easily, reducing strain and improving usability across different lighting conditions and screen types.

By implementing thoughtful accessibility practices, you create a digital experience that is not just compliant but truly inclusive for everyone.
