UI Design is what makes your app/blog/website accessible. Aesthetics aren’t a distraction in user interface design, they seek to make your features and functions easy to use.

  1. Of the 10 items listed in this infographic, seeing “ensure accessibility” as #4 is a bitter irony for those who would benefit from it. Nothing about the image is accessible. There is no alternative text of any value, there is no full-text description, even for those who *can* see it the text has insufficient contrast. In fact, the content form known as the infographic is widely known to be *inaccessible*.

    If you are going to claim to educate viewers on accessibility, can you at least stipulate that the content is actually accessible, and not just paying lip service?

    • The entire graphic, in general, is a big miss for me. There is no context or explanation behind any of it. It might be an interesting launch point for further knowledge and learning, but as just a straight image with no way to dig into topics or explains the whys and the how, it introduces none.

  2. Thank you to the author of this blog! I appreciate this quick reference chart, which I will download and safe to my computer. I’m sure it will come in handy. True it does not explain in depth of what each suggested practice are describing, which some have commented on this thread. But to my understanding, this chart is intended to those who already have some what of knowledge of UI/UX. I myself have novice understanding in this area, just barely getting into it. But with my limited experience and research, I still could connect of most of the suggestion this chart is implying. Since I’m a beginner, this chart will give me a quick reference to remind me of best-practice when designing.

  4. For a competitive web presence, your website must be user friendly with a lot of new features that help visitors in many ways and let them have a great user experience. This means that a user interface is not just about putting stylish fonts and pretty graphics. More than that, it is about adding something unique to your website so that it helps in projecting your business as a competitive brand.

    What is more, user interface is still a great way to convert your visitors of website into customers. You can significantly improve your conversion rate with some user interface tweaks.
