Can Everyone Shop? The Accessibility of Swiss Grocery Apps
Details
About the talk:
Buying groceries online can be a game-changer for people with disabilities—but how accessible are Swiss grocery apps?
In this talk, Dimitri will share the results of his master’s thesis, in which he evaluated three popular grocery apps. We’ll go beyond the technicalities of WCAG evaluations and take a closer look at the specific barriers blind users face when trying to shop for groceries. Together, we’ll look at how inclusive design can help cross-functional teams create apps that work for everyone in an evolving digital world.

About the host:
Helga – Digital Ideation, Design & Development.
We are close,
Helga is a small team, and intentionally so: Because we love proximity, short paths, and personal exchange. Among ourselves, with users—and with our clients, whom we take by the hand as human and motivated companions and guide to success.
... damn honest,
We love, that we can do, what we love. That's why we take responsibility for a successful outcome; we guarantee solutions and intense orientation on solutions. And we allow ourselves to honestly point out better options or unexpected risks when we see them: Anyone developing a digital project together must be able to rely on their partner. In tricky phases, sometimes blindly. And deafly.
... and ambitious.
As experts in our field, we develop digital solutions because we believe in their potential: For our clients, for users, for the world. To realize this, we give everything: Because more commitment also brings more joy when you reach the goal together.
