Alp on Nostr: And when you think about it, it's actually quite unwise from a business perspective ...
And when you think about it, it's actually quite unwise from a business perspective to simply exclude 6% of the population. People with disabilities rely on the web more than others. They prefer to shop online rather than go out and get their purchases locally. And yet, these very people are being excluded just because website owners and operators are too ignorant? Dumb, just plain dumb.
I'm currently working on improving the accessibility of my website. It's actually fun. I thought I’d need to brush up on my accessibility knowledge, but nothing has really changed in the past ten years. What also hasn’t changed is the general adoption of the necessary knowledge in web development. Most (and by that, I mean 99%) agencies and website builders still ignore 6% of the population with disabilities. Not to mention Nostr web clients.
If you think about it, that’s pretty antisocial.
