🚫 Cutting Corners in Accessible Design: A Cautionary Note 🚫 We often find ourselves in the push and pull of project timelines and budgets. It can be tempting to opt for quicker designs, especially when under pressure. But one area we shouldn't compromise on is #accessibility. Remember the age-old saying, "Penny wise, pound foolish"? When we skimp on accessibility in the design process stages, we're not truly saving. In fact, we're setting ourselves up for potentially higher costs down the line. Fixing accessibility issues retroactively can be far more expensive than integrating them from the start, not to mention the reputational risks and potential legal implications. 💡 Accessible design is not just about compliance; it's about ensuring everyone can interact with our content, regardless of their abilities. Let's prioritize inclusivity from the get-go, recognizing that what seems like a small investment now can prevent a significant expenditure in the future. #InclusiveDesign #UserExperience #AccessibilityDesign
It's never a good idea to push accessibility to the end. Including it into UI and UX best-practices is the way to go, and then verifying it at every step afterwards. Let's not forget that we all need digital accessibility, as everyone will experience a disability in their life. No matter if it's today or tomorrow.

1yThanks for opening my eyes to accessibility issues Eugene Woo I had no idea how all that worked. I think I'm going to be switching from Canva to Venngage to stay accessibility compliant.
