Making Emails Accessible to Everyone

Accessibility isn’t always about doing more. It’s about doing things so that everyone benefits.  Font type, size, colour and page background all have a significant impact on readability for those with dyslexia, a visual impairment, visual stress, older people etc.  Arial 12 is more readable than others.  Font is a small design choice with a big impact.  It has also been found that if text is dark and on a cream background it increases readability.  Readability is inclusion.  Small changes can make big differences.  By making mindful decisions, we can create an experience that is accessible to as large an audience as possible. #neurodiversity #accessibilityforall
