Most organisations are oblivious to, or terrified about, web accessibility. You may be aware that 20% of your customers – people with disabilities – could be clicking away from your websites or mobile apps every day, without having bought anything or found the information they needed.

Your web teams may have read the industry standard WCAG guidelines, but found them impenetrable.

And apart from eliminating risk, what else is in it for your organisation? In this book, award-winning international accessibility thought-leader Jonathan Hassell shows you how to transform your organisation to consistently and cost-efficiently create websites, mobile apps and other digital products that are usable for all of your customers. Inclusive Design for Organisations gives you a clear, strategic business-aligned framework how to embed accessibility policies and processes consistently throughout your organisation, and how to measure the return on your investment.
