Accessible web design

Websites that work for more people.

Accessibility, usability, and cognitive clarity are design inputs from the beginning, not repairs saved for the end.

Accessibility and UX

Clear interaction supports better business.

People reach websites with different devices, abilities, attention, familiarity, and environments. Accessible design reduces unnecessary barriers so more visitors can understand the business and complete the task they came to do.

MICA brings Human-Computer Interaction expertise into practical design decisions: how information is grouped, how navigation behaves, how controls are labelled, how content reads, and how the interface responds to keyboard, touch, and different screen sizes.

This work supports accessibility; it is not presented as a substitute for legal advice or a formal third-party compliance audit.

Design considerations

Accessibility throughout the interface.

Semantic structure

Use meaningful headings, landmarks, labels, and controls so content remains understandable beyond its visual presentation.

Keyboard and focus

Keep important actions reachable without a mouse and make focus visible as someone moves through the page.

Readable presentation

Consider contrast, text hierarchy, spacing, line length, motion, and responsive behaviour together.

Cognitive accessibility

Reduce ambiguity, unnecessary choices, surprising interactions, and language that makes simple tasks harder.

Research-informed decisions

Use UX and HCI principles to connect accessibility choices to the audience and the job the interface must support.
