Equitable use is the UD framework aiming to market information for people with varying abilities; it can be either designed the same for everyone or have alternate versions according to ability. When you use this principle, you must consider all users, instead of only the target users.
- Provide the same means of use for all users: identical whenever possible, equivalent when not.
- Avoid segregating or stigmatizing any users.
- Provisions for privacy, security, and safety should be equally available to all users.
- Make the design appealing to all users.
For example, Use strong color contrast to avoid stigmatizing users with color blindness. Colour blindness affects approximately 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women (0.5%) in the world. You can avoid segregating or stigmatizing your users by designing color palettes with strong contrast.
Colors not to use!
Strong contrasting colors!
