The amazing digital platform
Meet the team and hear their reason for the creation of this platform
Digital inclusion .
It is not a new concept , yet , it is a concept that is now “ hot on the shelves ” and being embraced by global enterprises and multinational organizations .
It is a concept that goes beyond the traditional “ Diversity , Equity and Inclusion ” programs . It is about enabling all people to contribute to and benefit from the digital economy . Including everyone means we must level the digital playing field , especially for people that access technology and the internet differently than the “ mainstream persona ”. In the age of digital transformation , this mainstream persona is non-existent .
Your users are different . They engage with your product differently . They enjoy retrieving the content differently . They use various devices to interact with your product ( mobile phone , desktop computer , tablet , assistive technology , etc .).
It is time we set aside that “ mainstream ” persona and begin designing and developing for people of diverse backgrounds and different capabilities . That is , let ’ s begin designing and developing for keyboard only users , assistive technologies users , users that may need different color contrast , etc . This , actually , taps into universal design and development principles of which accessible design and development is one of these principles to follow .
