Webinar: Improve Your Customer Experience Through Web Accessibility and Inclusion

1:00pm EST / 10:00am PST
Wednesday, July 28th, 2021

There are 1B+ websites in the world today and yet less than 2% are accessible to people with disabilities. Enjoying a seamless digital user experience is everybody’s right but 20% of the world’s population with disabilities struggle to effectively access a website which leads to a poor user experience and loss of revenues for many businesses.

The global pandemic forced organizations to reassess their digital priorities, pivoting from a 3-year step-by-step process to an intensive 3-month accelerated implementation with budgets focussed towards getting a stronger digital presence. Going digital is no longer an option, but a necessity. 

Why is Web Accessibility becoming table stakes?

Through an accessible website, your organization can capture a huge, overlooked market share, boost brand value, and reduce your legal risk. Building accessibility into your development process and reaching your compliance goals shouldn’t be disruptive to your organization’s development velocity, or business operations. In fact, an inclusive website increases brand loyalty and enables your organization to access a “hidden” market of $490 billion.

As a leading digital innovation provider, Quantum Mob has built numerous digital platforms for organizations across the world. And, we have always empowered our customers to be aware of the various benefits of building an accessible website to make the web a better place. 

This is why we hosted a live webinar with industry experts from Air Miles and Siteimprove who helped our attendees understand the importance of championing web accessibility and digital inclusion at their organization to drive digital growth and improve customer experience.
