Designing for Accessibility
By Carlos Mendes, Creative Director
Inclusive design isn't just a trend—it's an ethical and business imperative. At Matat, we've long championed accessibility as a core principle of software and digital product design. In this piece, we'll explore why accessibility matters, how to approach it, and how Matat's tools empower developers to create experiences that work for everyone.
The Business Case for Accessibility

3 Pillars of Inclusive Design
Perceivibility
Ensure all users can perceive your content through multiple senses: visual, auditory, and tactile.
Operability
Make all functionality available through keyboard and alternative input methods.
Understandability
Create content and UIs that are easy to understand through multiple interaction models.
