The Universal Design Principles

Universal Design Principles aim to create products, spaces, and environments that are accessible and usable by everyone, regardless of age, ability, or situation. They focus on flexibility, simplicity, and intuitive use, ensuring that designs accommodate diverse needs without adapting or specialized features. Key principles include equitable use (accessible to all), flexibility in use, simple and intuitive interfaces, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, and appropriate size and space. These principles promote inclusivity, enhance usability for everyone, and ultimately improve overall user experience by considering a wide range of human abilities and preferences from the outset.
