The internet was built to connect people, yet too many websites and apps unintentionally exclude users with disabilities. For a diverse nation like Sri Lanka, where millions of people may face visual, auditory, or mobility challenges, building accessible digital solutions is not just ethical—it’s essential. Accessibility ensures that everyone, regardless of ability, can use your product with ease.
Practically speaking, accessibility starts with simple steps: providing alt text for images, ensuring text contrasts well with backgrounds, and enabling keyboard navigation for those who can’t use a mouse. It also extends to voice navigation, captioning videos, and designing interfaces that work well with screen readers. For businesses, these changes open doors to a wider audience, demonstrating inclusivity and respect for every user.
There’s also a strong business case. Accessible websites often load faster, rank better on search engines, and provide smoother user experiences overall. In Sri Lanka, where internet access spans everything from smartphones in urban centers to older devices in rural areas, designing for accessibility also means designing for resilience. If your site works well for everyone, it works well for Google, too.
At CodeHub.lk, we believe accessibility should be at the heart of every digital product. Our team guides businesses to implement global best practices, ensuring apps and websites aren’t just functional but inclusive. Together, let’s build a digital Sri Lanka that works for all.
