The Principles of Inclusive Design

Principle one: Equitable

Be welcoming, don't discriminate.Create different & equally valuable user

experiences.

Aesthetics matter.

Principle two: Flexible

Provide choice. Consider users, locations & devices.

Think who, how, why, what, where & when.

Principle three: Straightforward

Be obvious, not ambiguous. Add value, not complexity.

Good design is as little design as possible.

Principle four: Perceptible

Don't assume. Make sure your design is fit for purpose.

Convey information meaningfully.

Principle five: Informative

Let people know where they are & how to find what they're looking for.

Be timely, predictable, uncomplicated and precise.

Principle six: Preventative

Provide easy to follow instructions & guide gently.

Minimise user input errors. Design great forms.

Principle seven: Tolerant

Handle errors respectfully & make it crystal clear.

Let people know they've succeeded.

Principle eight: Effortless

Don't make users do any heavy lifting.

Efficiency + Effectiveness = Effortlessness

Principle nine: Accommodating

Be approachable, unobtrusive & uncluttered.Give people room to manoeuvre.

Be responsive to devices of all shapes & sizes.

Principle ten: Consistent

Follow standards, conventions & best practices.

Be familiar & memorable.
