Inclusive Design Patterns For 2025
summary
Accessible design means specific rules not slogans: the European Accessibility Act and real users push testable patterns — 300 million people with color weakness, ~30% vulnerable to motion sickness, 1 billion over 60 — so use concrete fixes: never rely on color alone, avoid red/green pairs, set 4.5:1 minimum contrast, prefer large body copy (16px+), add shapes/textures to charts, put show error messages above inputs, offer provide a reduced-motion or non-animated alternative, and validate palettes with use WhoCanUse to test palettes.
