It was designed with ease of use in mind, and improvements to contrast will help us improve the experience for everyone, and especially for users with low vision. Beyond the clear compliance and broader market benefits for our customers, these changes help us celebrate accessibility awareness and action with practical product improvements.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, for Salesforce and for any business, accessibility and inclusion is most successful when it\u2019s built in right from the start. We strive to design all of our products with a wide range of users with an equally wide range of abilities and lived experiences in mind. Including more diverse perspectives earlier in the design process helps us \u201cshift left\u201d \u2013 moving away from fixing accessibility concerns after they\u2019re in a product and toward identifying and addressing those concerns in research, design, and development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In doing so, we can both improve the Salesforce experience that exists today and design with our learnings in mind as we move forward, building toward a world with more accessible tech for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learn more:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For in-depth information, examples, and user guides, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.salesforce.com\/blog\/2023\/salesforce-ui-updates-that-improve-accessibility-for-low-vision-users\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Admin blog<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read more on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightningdesignsystem.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce Lightning Design System&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dive deeper on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/company\/legal\/508_accessibility\/?d=cta-body-promo-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Product Accessibility Status Information<\/a> page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get started with <a href=\"https:\/\/org62.my.trailhead.com\/users\/sparker\/trailmixes\/get-started-with-web-accessibility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Web Accessibility at Salesforce<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great experiences with technology should be for everyone, and it\u2019s up to the people who build that technology to ensure an inclusive experience.
