UX & Cognitive Accessibility
summary
Gives six concrete design rules—clear organization, enough time, understandable, predictable, adaptability, multiple ways to understand—and shows real app fixes: move “added to basket” to the top of a bottom sheet instead of a disappearing snackbar, remove pointless written-number CAPTCHAs, split a long login into a five‑step form with save progress locally, prefer passkeys/Google/Apple sign‑in, use readable fonts like OpenDyslexic, and follow WCAG plus the Information for All guidelines; cites UK stats (≈25% disabled, mental‑health impairment rising 16→34%).
