Ecommerce experience is basically common tasks that people do online and a website developer needs to consider who they are building the site for whether it is for themselves or for their clients. There are decisions to make when designing and working with others in the development of the website whilst writing content and building sites. As a designer, you’re in a unique position to influence the final product by creating more accessible designs from the beginning of the project rather than adding it in part way through and towards the end of the creation you would realise there may or may not be changes to make to improve your website. By designing and building accessibility since the sketch of the project, you are most likely to succeed. You’ll need a variation of designs, development skills and content that is seen as accessible.
In the eyes of website development, colour is crucial as it is seen to be a design element used in ways that are meaningful, the idea of colour communicates status and helps to distinguish one another or different mechanisms can be used instead of colour such as shape, punctuation or even changing the letters from a lower case to a capital letter for instance.
Keyboard usage is considered to be one of the most important requirements in accessibility as it affects people with different types of disabilities and you must be able to complete all the tasks with the use of a keyboard to see how accessible it is for users. So in order to make sure that we’re providing equal functionality for all different users, we need to make sure that all of that functionality is available for somebody using a keyboard. We can do that quite easily by making sure that each one of the controls that we clicked on with the mouse is a simple button.
