Everyone has different user needs when online, for example, not everyone uses a mouse to access a website. The POUR Operable #accessibility principle has been created to ensure platforms are designed with all users in mind.

Learn more in our blog: zurl.co/F6HDB
#A11y
Operable design principle ensures users can easily operate your site. This is required: 1. A keyboard needs to control all functions, complete actions, and use interface components. 2. Users need ample time to complete actions, so page timeouts should be removed, 3. To guide users, provide items such as skip links, structured heading levels, descriptive link text, and visible focus states, 4. Various input methods, like voice recognition or touch activation is required to assist all users.
