Digital Accessibility

When building a shop, it’s important to make sure facilities like toilets and parking are fully accessible. When you build a website or create digital assets, you’ll have similar considerations. Closed captions on videos for deaf people, and keyboard-navigable websites for those that can’t physically use a mouse are just 2 examples.
