1 in 6 New Zealanders live with a disability. That's your family, your neighbours, your friends, and your customers.

It's often acknowledged as the biggest non-ethnic minority group in New Zealand, and it’s not one that most people choose to join. However, it’s a group that any of us could join at any time, through an accident, an illness, or simply getting older.

We've made real progress on physical accessibility with things like ramps, accessible parking, and wider doorways. But when it comes to visual marketing, branding, websites, documents, publications, and social media, plenty of businesses are letting themselves down.

Yes, accessible marketing design is a thing, and it’s more than just what something looks like. There’s a lot that has to be done with the structure and the setup of a website and documents too.

Accessible design isn't a niche add-on. It's designing for real life, for the people we already share our community with, and for the person any of us might become.

If you want to know more about how I can help your marketing be more accessible, do get in touch. www.boldly.co.nz
