Steps for Achieving Accessibility
- The first step of an accessible design is to create a Sketch. This help in getting an outline of the outline of the entire design, now we can have a high level overview of the design.
- The next step is to create a Wireframe of the project. A Wireframe is basically the interface without the visual design principles applied. Wireframe clearly illustrates how the product functions and the core elements of its design. Create a wireframe for your design using whatever tool you are good at.
- Next step is to design the components keeping in mind they must be easy to understand and work-with to as much as users as possible. By designing component we mean to design things like symbols (buttons and badges), element states (button hover states) or clicked states components (tables lists cards and forms) and shows actual texts and images.
- Now we can can convert wireframes into wire flows using flow charts. These Wire flows will help during the final iteration of design in visualizing the entry, exit and decision points for the user.
- Now we will create the final design and design things exactly as they will appear in the final product. we will add brand aesthetics and thematic elements as per the requirement of the client or the business itself. We will take the final approval from stakeholders and finish up the design from our side.
- The final step is to take feedback and iterate. Your job is not over even after completing the design, for the best accessible designs you must take continuous feedback from your customers on how to make the website simpler and easy to understand for a large number of people and implement their feedback accordingly.
Accessibility vs Usability in Design
Accessibility and Usability are the two crucial aspects and best practices for professional design. Accessibility means designing for everybody, keeping in mind the people who might have some special needs and taking care of those needs in the product experience and interface Usability or user-centered design is the process of designing something from the perspective of how it will eventually be used by an actual person. In this article, we will discuss the difference between Accessibility and Usability along with how to achieve them.
