Enhance your digital inclusivity
Creating an inclusive online experience is not just a regulatory requirement, it’s essential for fostering an equitable society where everyone can participate. Almost 30% of Canada’s population live with one or more disabilities.
Accessible digital content and functionality ensures that all types of visitors can engage with your organization. We follow globally recognized accessibility standards for an enhanced user experience. At Sandbox, we’re dedicated to making your website or application accessible to everyone.
Why accessibility matters
Broaden your audience reach
By embracing web accessibility, you open your digital doors to visitors of all abilities. Your audience may rely on assistive technology or have limited technical proficiency. Accessible design enables everyone to interact with ease, broadening market potential and fostering an inclusive, user-friendly environment to build long-term visitor loyalty.
Improve user experience
While accessible experiences benefit everyone, they are necessary for disabled users. Clearer navigation, better structure and content, and enhanced functionality lead to a more satisfying user experience, encouraging positive engagement and conversion rates. Many accessibility practices lead directly to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), better helping new visitors to find your content.
Legal compliance
Compliance with accessibility standards such as WCAG (the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and legal requirements like the AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) helps mitigate legal risk. Ensure your digital properties are compliant and avoid potential penalties or litigation.
Enhance your brand
Prioritizing accessibility proves your commitment to social responsibility. Highlighting that your organization champions accessible practices will build trust with your users (new and returning), strengthening your brand’s reputation.
