How we measure success depends on who we are, and what we are working on.

For some success means getting through a day without incident, another success means gaining a contract, or winning a race.

There is one thing many agree on, which is that success is important.

In access, success means increasing how accessible a product, service or building is.

With a website this involves creating digital experience that others can engage with, regardless of ability level.

We do this through using plain English format, ensuring websites are mobile accessible and responsive to the needs of viewers. For this, the messages should be easy to view and understand. They should also be worded well.

Finally, websites should welcome criticism or feedback in how they are formatted.

So here is an action. Have a think about what would make access to my pages easier and get back to me?
