Abstract:
Since technology is essential to communication, work, healthcare, and educationin the twenty-first century, accessibility in digital platforms has become a criticalneed. Equal participation in the digital world is hampered by the fact that asizable portion of websites and mobile applications are still inaccessible to peoplewith disabilities. By investigating UI/UX accessibility enhancements throughinclusive design practices, this study tackles the problem of digital exclusion. Tofind important accessibility gaps, the study starts by comparing well- knowndigital platforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1).Using Canva, Figma, and accessibility checkers, an accessible prototype iscreated based on the results, adding features like text-to-speech support, keyboardnavigation, high contrast modes, and simplified layouts. To gauge efficacy,usability testing is subsequently carried out with a varied sample of participants.The findings show a significant improvement in task completion rates,productivity, and general user satisfaction, especially for users who are blind orhave mobility issues. To guarantee inclusive digital transformation, the researchalso suggests a workable framework for incorporating accessibility into theUI/UX design process, providing developers and designers with guidelines theycan follow.
