Day 4
"Inclusive design creates better experiences for all users."
Why This Matters
Inclusive design goes beyond accessibility compliance to create experiences that are genuinely welcoming and usable for everyone. When we consider the full spectrum of human diversity in our design process, we create products that are more innovative, usable, and successful.
Business Impact
Inclusive design drives innovation and opens new markets. Products designed inclusively often become market leaders because they work better for everyone. This approach also reduces the risk of alienating potential customers and creates positive brand associations.
