As developers, designers, founder it’s our responsibility to ensure that
accessibility doesn’t start in “phase two”. 9
Business Case for Digital Accessibility
Research shows that 1 in 5 people have disability. You
could be excluding 20% of your potential users, customers, students and more when you don’t build with accessibility in mind. 11

Benefits of Digital Accessibility
19 Increase Market share
20 Manage Legal Risk
21 Drive Innovation
22 Protect and Enhance the Brand
23 Improve usability for Everyone
The successful business case question will move from “Can we
afford it?” “Can we afford NOT to do it?”
“ ” When you make your product easier for people
with disabilities, we also often make it a better experience for everyone else.
