Advantages of implementing web accessibility

Web accessibility is more than just compliance – it opens doors to new markets, boosts SEO, and enhances user experience. Discover how inclusion benefits your business.

In Kruso we like to see the glass half full – and when it comes to web accessibility, the opportunities are just waiting for you! The benefits of ensuring accessibility goes way beyond compliance, and here are some examples.

Unlock a hidden market

For e-commerce businesses it’s always a great idea to reach a wider client group. With 1 in 4 European adults living with a disability, imagine the huge purchasing power you are missing out on! Don’t leave money on the table by making it tough for millions of people to access your site.

7 % of Danish adults feel limited in purchasing things online. That is more than 350.000 people, just in Denmark.

Easier trading across the EU

Common accessibility standards mean smoother sailing when doing business across EU countries. You’ll have the confidence that your products and services can reach every corner of the Union without hitting any roadblocks.

Give your SEO a boost

Making your site accessible isn’t just good for users – it’s great for Google, too. If a screen reader can navigate your content, so can search engines. Well-structured content, descriptive alt-text for images, and video transcriptions don't just help disabled users; they make your site more understandable to everyone – including Google's bots. Even something as simple as sufficient colour contrast can make a difference for search engines being able to identify the text.

The most important tools for web accessibilityWebinar

Enhance the user experience

Let’s face it, an improved user experience is never a bad thing. Customers will benefit from a wider and more socially inclusive offer being able to fully participate in a highly digitalized society. When people feel valued and included, they're more likely to trust and engage with your brand. Plus, showing that you care about accessibility sends a positive message about your company's values, boosting your reputation in the eyes of customers and stakeholders alike.
