Inclusive Design, The Next Layer

Accessibility is table stakes. The next layer is inclusion, designing so people feel welcome, not just accommodated.

That means considering neurodiverse navigation preferences, offering reduced motion options for those sensitive to animation, and choosing imagery that reflects real audiences. WebAIM frames inclusion as cultural, not just technical.

Check your defaults. Can people tab through everything? Do forms validate gently? Does your color system maintain contrast at every state? Inclusion shows up in details that reduce stress.

If your checklist is done but people still feel unseen, it is time to go further. I can help you layer inclusion into everyday decisions. Contact me.
