Designing for Accessibility: A Call to Action

Bad design is forcing millions of people to memorize button locations just to use the internet.

A new study reveals that for color-blind users, your favorite aesthetic interfaces are actually

a nightmare. When apps rely solely on color to show status or distinguish buttons,

it is basically invisible ink for a huge chunk of the population. People are forced

to skip features entirely, crank their contrast settings to the max,

or rely on muscle memory just to navigate a basic menu. The research found that the most effective

strategy is still just asking a friend to confirm what they are seeing. It proves that if

your design needs a translator, it is time to fix it.
