Establishing the Importance of Making Your Websites and Applications More Inclusive 

Take the First Step to Serving a Billion More People 

Web accessibility, or eAccessibility, is more important now than ever before. The World Wide Web is an essential part of everyday life for billions of people. Unfortunately, there are still many sites and tools that are not accessible for those with disabilities. According to the World Health Organization, over 1 billion people in the world have some form of disability. Making your website accessible for everyone, regardless of disability, can seem like a daunting task. However, designing your site with accessibility in mind is not only feasible but necessary. In this white paper, we will explore what accessibility is, the challenges you may face, and why it’s important. Additionally, we will discuss what we have done and provide an overview of the market and some interesting background statistics to help you understand how making changes to your website can benefit your business. 

The Complication of Accessibility 

As stated before, designing a website or application for everyone can be difficult. Disabilities come in different forms, and each requires a different approach to ensure that web content is accessible. Some common types of disabilities that affect web accessibility include visual, hearing, cognitive, and physical disabilities, as well as socio-economic restrictions on bandwidth and speed. Over 1% of internet users have epilepsy, which can be triggered by flashing images on a website. Additionally, 1 in 12 men are color blind, and 1 in 4 people have some form of disability. These statistics alone should be enough to convince anyone of the importance of web accessibility. 

Moser Has Your Solution

Accessible web design means designing your website so that it is free from barriers that may prevent people with disabilities from accessing your content. 

Accessible design focuses on how a disabled person benefits from a site, system, or application, regardless of how the user accesses the website or tool. It is crucial to consider accessibility throughout the development process to ensure that the end product is inclusive. When websites and web tools are designed and coded properly, people with disabilities can use them seamlessly. By following accessibility guidelines, you expand your client base to include all potential customers. 

At Moser Consulting, we understand the importance of expanding the reach of your business to all potential customers, regardless of disability.

Creating apps that are accessible and usable by everyone, including those with disabilities, is a top priority for us. Our team is dedicated to creating apps that are accessible for all by creating custom apps to increase accessibility. Additionally, when we assumed responsibility for applications under the purview of a State Human Services Agency, we corrected and enhanced the usability and accessibility of not only the main portal, but also the other supporting components. 

Designing websites and applications with accessibility in mind not only makes your content more inclusive but can also benefit your business. Over 1 billion people in the world have some form of disability, and it is our obligation as website and application developers to make sure we are creating inclusive and accessible tools for everyone. By leveraging empathy and understanding, we can find the right solutions for the problems people experience.

Developing a Jira App: How to Design Usability Testing 

Usability testing is a crucial step in designing any product or application. For our team developing Clear Path , designing the usability tests was a very important part of the process. Since our Jira app was a new application being developed from scratch, there is even more of a need to understand the user experience and improvements that can be made based on user feedback. Before conducting the tests, designing the usability test is equally important to ensure you are receiving the information that would help make your product better.

When first designing our usability test script, there was discussion about whether to use a usability test or user acceptance test (UAT). Although these types of tests are used interchangeably, they have differences that need to be considered. Being a new app, it was a question for our team on whether to do usability testing or user acceptance testing. So, what is the difference between these two types of tests?

Developing a Jira App: Three Tips for Atlassian Forge App Development

You have two choices for building the user interface for your Forge app – the UI kit, and custom UI. The UI kit allows you to create a straightforward UI using a set of Atlassian-supplied components, put together using relatively simple code. Custom UI gives you more room to use Atlassian-supplied and third-party hooks, components and such, while also allowing you to employ more complex HTML, CSS, static resources (such as images) and source code, all of which can be hosted in Atlassian’s cloud with custom UI but not the UI kit. Both types of UI involve writing code in a React-like pattern, which makes sense in that various components available from Atlassian are based on React.
