Inclusivity

A web should be designed in an inclusive manner so as to create a user frienldy environment for everyone despite their disabilities. These disabilities might include visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning and neurological disabilities. The other reason to be inclusive in web design is it is not always about how the disablities that arte visual or neurological but the disabilities might also be aging or sometimes there is not ease of use in the design of the website.

Therefore for the web content to cater for everyone no matter their disabilities should be designed in a way that has ease of use. The other ways to make a website user friendly is to have a narrator for the visually disabled, a touch screen website for the physically disabled and a the simplicity of language in the web content. The other technique to designing a website is that designers should avoid posting extremely bright coloured pictures on a website so as to cater for people who are colour blind. If we really look at it many people have disabilities that can be sensitive to the use of technology therefore a website should be inclusive to cater for everyone's needs.
