Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity in Digital Products: The Responsibility of Product Designers
Designing for inclusion means considering and including the needs of all people who will use a product, such as providing clear instructions, removing barriers that prevent use, and adapting interfaces for people with disabilities. Inclusive design can benefit not only those with disabilities, but also the entire population, as it can improve financial literacy and lead to more efficient use of resources.
Product designers can make their products more inclusive by thoroughly understanding all potential users, including people with disabilities in the design process, being flexible in building the product, and seeking help when needed.
Inclusive design: creating digital products for everyone
Creating an inclusive design process is about ensuring that digital products are usable for everyone, regardless of their gender, race, abilities, religion, culture, and more. This involves designing in a way that is inclusive of different groups and is usable for different types of people in a variety of situations. To create an inclusive design, designers should consider the needs, limitations, and abilities of their target audience and the diversity of people who will use their product.
