Best Practices – Inclusivity
Other than the points we mentioned in the above section, make sure to follow these points to ensure inclusivity in your design:
1. Research:
People have different limitations on what they can easily see, understand and feel comfortable with. Research about such possible pain points of your customers and come up with solutions in your design.
2. Accessible Design:
Makes sure that you design is accessible. When we say that a design is accessible we mean that it can be used by people who have hearing, visual, motor or cognitive impairments.
3. Give People Choices:
When designing interfaces, allow people to describe themselves in their own terms. This can be done by for example, turning a one choice only radio button into a “select all that apply” checkbox.
4. Constant Feedback:
As designers, we shouldn’t assume that we know everything there is to know about people, we should invite them to help us learn. Take regular feedback about your website or application and iterate accordingly.
