Interview with AccessiWay: How to make the web more accessible
“Accessibility is a complex topic because people are complex.” What does digital accessibility mean to you and how would you explain it in a simple and useful way?
Digital accessibility means creating IT tools denmark telephone number that can be used by everyone, regardless of their particular needs. This includes thinking about those with color blindness, low vision, attention deficit disorders, epilepsy, motor or cognitive disabilities, dyslexia. But also considering conditions related to aging. With an increasing emphasis on UX, digital accessibility becomes an inclusive process that puts all users at the center, from the design phase to the continuous monitoring of digital environments. At AccessiWay, we believe that this begins with a cultural change, which is essential to effectively address the challenge of accessibility.
AccessiWay was born in 2021, but to date you have already had a great impact on the topic of accessibility in Italy. What is your story and how did you get to where you are today?
Covid was the definitive demonstration that digital regulates our lives and allows us to access essential services and actively participate in society. And although we have been talking about digital accessibility for twenty years in this country very little has been done to achieve concrete results. With the European Accessibility Act, my partners Gianni Vernetti and Simone Scarzella and I saw the opportunity to innovate in a crucial vertical of the digital transition and so we founded AccessiWay together with a pool of international entrepreneurs.
