There are many people across the globe that has multiple devices such as smartphone, home computer, laptop etc. People in general will only go for that device, where content is appropriately displayed and can be read with ease. For the purpose of reading, they might use a laptop or a home computer and to acquire For the purpose of reading, they might use a laptop or a home computer and to acquire some quick local information details, they might use a smartphone. A product needs to be created that can work on many platforms such as iPad, smartphone, computer, laptop and other devices. To achieve this, the design should be flexible, so that it can be easily adopted. The product’s usability is focused on and worked upon Following are the three key accessibility related factors that need to be focused on and worked upon: Distracting elements: Screens that are cluttered often have distracting elements. This will in turn prove to be harder on people with learning or cognitive disabilities Auto refreshing information: Those pages or screens with a lot of updating sections or automatically refreshed data, Those pages or screens with a lot of updating sections or automatically refreshed data, even if their coding is in line with ARIA standards can prove to be really difficult to use with a screen reader in an effective manner Complex screens: Complex screens are difficult to navigate with ZoomText, especially, when the boundaries of each zone are hard to see. The more complex or crowded a screen is, the harder it will be to learn and understand The more complex or crowded a screen is, the harder it will be to learn and understand and thus use it effectively.
