Digital marketing focused on using inclusive design with AODA compliance.

By January 1, 2021, all public websites and web content in Ontario posted after 2012 will need to be AODA “AA” compliant. With hefty penalties for a non-compliant site, build a new web presence using Inclusive design principles so that compliance with AODA is resolved naturally, not simply a technical pass with tooling.

What is Inclusive Design?

In a world of stairs, let’s build ramps.

Stairs are cheaper but have limits. They work for the majority of people, but not all. Ramps take a bit more planning and budget than stairs but can be used by everyone.

Picking ramps when stairs will do is an inclusive design choice. People who use stairs don’t even notice a ramp. People who use ramps will absolutely notice it’s not stairs.

  • Accessible design is good design.

  • Good design is rarely noticed.

The true R.O.I. from accessibility is to not only make your website more accessible but to also market to people with disabilities using accessibility as a market differentiator.

Inclusive design methods (designing with rather than for excluded users) can create elegant solutions that work well and benefit all.

"You can spend a small amount of money on accessibility and be VERY effective, or a huge amount of money and not make a dent in the backlog.

That's the difference between Accessibility Culture and Accessibility Compliance."
