Inclusive Design Principles
These Inclusive Design Principles are about putting people first. It's about designing for the needs of people with permanent, temporary, situational, or changing disabilities — all of us really.
-
Provide comparable experience
Ensure your interface provides a comparable experience for all so people can accomplish tasks in a way that suits their needs without undermining the quality of the content.
-
Consider situation
People use your interface in different situations. Make sure your interface delivers a valuable experience to people regardless of their circumstances.
-
Be consistent
Use familiar conventions and apply them consistently.
-
Give control
Ensure people are in control. People should be able to access and interact with content in their preferred way.
-
Offer choice
Consider providing different ways for people to complete tasks, especially those that are complex or non standard.
-
Prioritise content
Help users focus on core tasks, features, and information by prioritising them within the content and layout.
-
Add value
Consider the value of features and how they improve the experience for different users.
