Making the Web Inclusive
At Digital Riser, we believe the internet should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that Isla, our founder, has officially earned the Wix Accessibility Specialist certification! 🎉
But what does this mean for our clients, and why does accessibility matter for your website?
Why Website Accessibility Matters
Imagine visiting a website that you can’t navigate, can’t read, or can’t interact with properly—frustrating, right? For millions of people with disabilities, this is a daily challenge. An accessible website ensures that everyone—including users with visual, hearing, mobility, or cognitive impairments—can browse, interact, and engage without barriers.
And it’s not just about inclusivity. Accessibility improves SEO, user experience, and even your legal compliance.
✅ SEO Boost – Search engines prioritise well-structured, accessible websites. Features like alt text, proper heading structures, and keyboard-friendly navigation can improve your rankings.
✅ Better User Experience – A clear, structured website benefits all visitors, not just those with disabilities. Simple navigation, readable fonts, and logical layouts improve usability.
✅ Legal Compliance – Many countries, including the UK, have laws requiring digital accessibility. Compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) helps protect businesses from potential legal issues.
