Designing for Accessibility is a Best Practice for Websites
Web accessibility means designing and developing websites, tools, and technologies so that people with all abilities can use them. Making it possible for everyone to access your content can be a regulatory obligation; making it easy simply makes sense.
The benefits of implementing accessibility include:
- Legal Compliance: Many regulations require accessible websites. including doing business with government agencies.
- Broader Reach: Taking into account permanent and temporary disabilities, a large share of the world’s population experiences some form of disability.
- Improved Usability: Features that make sites accessible improve the user experience for everyone. That’s our firm belief and it drives our mission.
While the W3C lay strict guidelines for accessible web design, Rozz takes accessibility to the next level:
- Efficient Content Navigation: Rozz helps users find the information they need quickly without browsing through multiple pages or menus — not to mention reading through lists of half-baked search results.
- Dynamic Content Interaction: Rozz interacts with the content of the website to provide not just static answers but a summary of the search results and relevant links in the form of a chat. This dynamic interaction makes the content more personalized.
- Multi-Language Support: Rozz can answer queries in any language, and in any form of language sophistication, making it an excellent tool for non-native speakers or users with language-based disabilities.
- Simplifying Information: By decluttering information and providing targeted responses, Rozz reduces the cognitive load on users, making web content more digestible.
- Rozz’s conversational language can be interpreted by screen readers for an audio version of the content. All aria labels and recommended HTML tags and attributes to make efficient use of screen readers are supported.
The integration of Rozz into a website transforms the user experience. It presents web content in a way that is tailored to individual preferences and requirements. Its ability to deliver concise, accurate information from a vast database of pages highlights its role not just as a feature but as an essential component of modern accessible web design.
