This post concludes my research into colour blindness and the internet. What an eye-opening (no pun intended!) journey it has been. I have learnt about the importance of designing websites with accessibility in mind, the fact that it is illegal to not do this (which I did not know!) and the importance (and size) of this group of web users.
I think as designers we get so caught up in the design and the client’s needs and wants that we forget about the end user and the fact that 1 in 10 web users has some form of disability.
I have designed a website with my target group in mind and have put it to the test with the colour blind web page filter.
