things to consider

[ expense ]

• according to the w3c, "the initial costs" of creating an accessible website "are often offset by a full return on investment". you might be wondering how that happens. well, there are a lot of reasons. let's get to the bottom line of the potential financial benefits of having an accessible website.
• increased potential market share. accessible websites = more potential users & happier visitors.
• increased organic seo & findability. you make your site accessible = you make your website easier to find.

[ image ]

• a lot of companies, big and small, have been singled out as "failing" those members of our communities who have disabilities. failing to adhere to even the most basic of accessibility standards can lead to a not-so-spiffy public image.

[ legal stuff ]

• some organizations and businesses are obligated (yes, legally obligated) to provide an accessible website.
