Microsoft produces Inclusive Design guidelines as a simple starting point for meaningful change.
Microsoft design has recently published guidelines on Inclusive design aimed at everyone who want to make great products for the greatest number of people.
As part of the guidelines Microsoft has prepared a toolkit which aims to address three key principles:
- Recognizing exclusion – Is about designing for everyone.
- Learning from diversity – It’s about putting people at the centre from the very start of the design process and adapting to the diverse needs of the end user.
- Solving for one, extending to many – It is about solving a problem for one person that will benefit all members of society.
