Episode 16 - Website Accessibility and UX (User Experience)

It is a common misconception that accessibility is all about those with limited vision. Making a website or mobile app accessible means making sure it can be used by as many people as possible.


Making your charity's website more accessible also means you will be following best practice with mobile web design, usability and SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). This improves your search engine results and makes for a faster user experience that can be experienced by everyone.


In this podcast, Ross McCulloch and Maddie Stark chat through highlights from our Zoom call with Gareth Ford Williams, Head of User Experience Design at the BBC, where he took us through 10 benefits of accessibility and how the BBC builds their products with accessibility at the core.



Key resources from this week include:


BBC GEL (bbc.co.uk/gel)


The BBC's shared design framework. A system of reusable interaction patterns used to assemble the BBC's entire online output.


GEL for developers: bbc.github.io/gel



Accessibility Tools & Guidelines


Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)


A simpler user-friendly checklist of the WCAG guidelines is available at the a11y project
