Users Face Online Access Barriers on Sports and Exercise Websites

The vast majority of fitness centres and sporting venues have already made their premises accessible to those with physical disabilities. But online, there are still many people who can’t access the information they need.

People look to the internet for many services, including finding a gym, accessing results, and buying tickets. Users may not be able to navigate a website that isn’t inclusive which can lead to them exiting the site and not buying those tickets, or joining that gym. Providing support online can remove barriers and enable everyone to get involved.

Why you Should Provide Online Support in the Sport and Fitness Sector

Overcome Language Barriers
On-page translation and text-to-speech options make websites accessible for sports fans who don’t speak or read in English as a first language.
Increased Revenue
1 in 5 people encounter access barriers online, so an accessible website can make a huge difference. People could be joining other gyms, clubs, and societies over yours because the information on their websites is easier to read.
