Designing Accessible Web Interfaces for Aging and Vulnerable Populations

Ensuring aging and vulnerable people can use the web on their own is as much a legal obligation as it is a matter of justice. Such groups often struggle when using digital services due to problems related to their bodies, thinking skills or finances. The author identifies the needs of such user groups and matches them to well-known accessibility standards. Design, assistive technologies and practical examples from actual websites are all integrated in this book to explain practices for inclusive web design. By exploring frameworks, support tools and challenges in deployment, this study gives useful suggestions to developers and regulators for building inclusive digital environments. The results demonstrate that making accessibility a priority right from the start helps improve usability, supports following accessibility guidelines and encourages inclusion for all.
