Universal Design
Universal design is the design of the buildings, product or environments to make them more accessible for users, regardless of age, disabiltiy or other important factors. When the group have designed and developed the budget application the Universal Design WCAG 2.1 have been a important factor for us, so that the application is user friendly and accessible for everyone and anyone.
When designing the application the group made 4 goals that is oriented to human performance, where one of them was perception:
- Body Fit
- Comfort
- Awarness
- Understanding
The group have made these goals as motivation to create a accessible application for everyone in any age and with any disability.
The group have taken several important factors into considiration when creating the Budget Application. Here are some of the key points for including the perceivability:
- Alternative text for images
- Contrast and color
- Simplified language
- Consistent navigation
For the application to be accessible for everyone the group have implemented alternative text for non-text content, so that the application is providing descriptive alternative text for images and other non-text content to allow users who cannot see the content to understand it.
The designing of the application have implemented contrasts and color for the different functions and layouts in the application, so that the application ensures that text and other content have a sufficient contrast and color to be visible to the users with bad vision or color vision deficiencies.
The Budget Application contain also clear and simple language that is easy to understand for the users with learning disabilities.
The Budget Application provides a consistent and easy navigation throughout the website to allow users to easily find and access content.
Lastly, the group have designed and developed the budget application based on and prioritized the Universal Design WCAG 2.1 principles in order to create an accessible application for all users of any age and abilities. The perceivable principle of the WCAG 2.1 was an important consideration when leading to the implementation of alternative text for images, good contrast and color, clear and a simple language, and easy navigation throughout the application. These implementations makes the application user-friendly and accessible for all individuals, regardless of disability or other factors.
