Why You Should Care About Inclusive Design

In this article we’ll learn more about inclusive design, and why it’s important to involve very diverse users during the design process.

An inclusive type of approach creates better solutions, because it aims to benefit all users, therefore also those who must cope with disabilities. Thinking in terms of accessibility throughout the entire process enables the creation of solutions for mobile applications and websites that are actually evolved and not merely alternative. Inclusive design makes possible a global kind of participation, with a higher impact on positivity exchange and emotional benefits than we would have when addressing just the disabilities.
