Why Eliquo is at Access U

Too often, the reasons given as to why organizations should make their digital content accessible are that a) It’s the law, b) Lawsuits are expensive, c) It helps increase revenue, or d) It enhances reputation. But there is 1 critical reason that is too often overlooked. Making your digital content accessible is simply the right thing to do (for a whole host of human rights reasons). At Eliquo, we’ve always been committed to teaching content designers both the “how” and the “why” behind their work. And when it comes to accessible design, that “why” – ensuring that content is usable by everyone – is always the most important reason of all.
