GUIDE TO THE INCLUSIVE DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

The Inclusive Design Principles provide people-centered guidance for design decisions that fall outside WCAG's technical scope, helping determine whether interfaces are inclusive and usable. The seven principles—providing comparable experiences, considering situations, being consistent, giving control, offering choice, prioritizing content, and adding value—can be applied across any digital interface from websites to AR/VR environments. These principles help product teams embed inclusion from the start while improving usability for everyone, serving as a framework that bridges the gap between compliance standards and thoughtful, user-centered design throughout the entire product development lifecycle.
