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.

Why E-commerce Websites Need to Provide an Inclusive Online Experience
Increased Revenue
1 in every 5 people has a physical, visual, auditory, cognitive, or neurological disability. So if your website isn’t accessible, you’re missing out on 20% of the market share.
Enhanced Brand Image
Welcoming people with varied disabilities and access needs promotes your commitment to inclusion and sets you apart from the competition.
Employer of Choice
Being inclusive sets you apart as an employer of choice. Higher staff satisfaction scores and reduced turnover rates will increase the pool of candidates who want to interview, work, and stay with you.
