To make products accessible, you have to think about the needs of people with different abilities, like those who are blind, deaf, or have other physical problems. Some important things to think about are using clear, simple language, giving alternative text for pictures, and making sure the product is easy to use with a keyboard.

it's important to keep all users in mind by taking into account things like color contrast, screen reader compatibility, and so on.

There is no quick answer, definitely. I would suggest the first step on this way: design for 40+ with hyperopia. 25% of people across the Earth are your clients in this situation :) 0% of interface designers believe in it. Sorry. 10+ years of design management.
@mervetarayici You're absolutely right! Accessibility should be a top priority for product designers, and it's true that it can be overwhelming with various factors to consider. However, I also feel that it's crucial to ensure that all users, regardless of their abilities, can have a positive experience with the products designed. Taking steps to make our designs accessible from the start is essential for creating inclusive and user-friendly experiences. Thoughts?!
