Clinic website Chirurgie Digestive

Why accessibility matters

Web accessibility best practices ensure websites are usable by everyone, regardless of ability. Key practices include using proper color contrast, providing alt text for images, and enabling keyboard navigation for interactive elements. Adhering to these guidelines makes content perceivable, operable, and understandable for users with disabilities, such as those who are blind or have motor impairments

Although it is not always legally mandated for private practices, adhering to standards such as France's RGAA and the EU Web Accessibility Directive demonstrates a commitment to patient care and legal best practices. It also future-proofs the site against stricter regulations.

Why page speed is critical

In a medical context, every second matters. Patients seeking urgent information, such as contact details or appointment times, cannot afford to wait for a page to load. A fast site prevents user frustration, reduces bounce rates, and improves the site's ranking on search engines like Google, making it easier for patients to find the clinic.
