E-commerce Organisations Making a Positive Change Online
Creating an accessible online store will enable a larger audience to browse and purchase items from your website barrier free.
Approximately one billion people globally have a disability and they can often face barriers when shopping online. The consumer spending power of people with disabilities and their families is a massive £2.25 trillion worldwide. Less than 10% of businesses have a targeted plan to access this disability market. Providing assistive technology on your e-commerce website will provide a custom shopping experience that allows everyone to shop and purchase hassle-free.
