Having a website that is accessible to all is crucial in 2024 and can really make the difference for people with visual impairments. If visitors can't use your website, they won't be becoming a customer which means you could potentially be leaving money on the table that can be fixed in 10 minutes.
Around 20% of the population have disabilities
How to make your site more accessible
By default, Webflow doesn’t have any ‘accessible’ features per se. When designing your get previews of 8 different visual disabilities but nothing to help visitors which suffer from something else. This means your website is inaccessible to potentially lots of visitors which means you could be losing out on new customers and revenue.
That’s where accessiBe helps.
