What is Accessible Design?
To the uninitiated, designing for people with low vision can seem like an oxymoron. However, accessible design is all about making a document as easy to understand and follow as possible – which is something that benefits everyone.
The biggest thing in accessible design is clarity. Making sure that everything in a document has a clear purpose, and that there is enough space around these things for their meaning to be understood and enough contrast for all content to be seen.
