Always Central: the User Experience

User-friendliness is the decisive success factor for a website. The better the user experience, the more sales can be achieved with products or services. And the better the pages rank in the search results. Although Google does not have a designated ranking factor for accessibility, it places great importance on the user experience, and both accessibility and SEO focus on optimizing websites. Accessible design makes them more user-friendly. And this has a positive effect on SEO metrics. Dwell times are longer, bounce rates are lower and organic traffic increases.
