Abstract

As information on health care and other social concerns becomes widely available online, technology has great potential to increase the quality of life for older users and for persons with disabilities. However, these user groups together with non-native speakers are also at risk of being disenfranchised in the digital age. Although these groups are clearly separate from one another, they do share some challenges when attempting to access information online. Web designers need to begin by considering some basic-aspects of design that can increase usability for all three of these user groups.
