Why MAKO Design Believes Accessibility in Product Design is Vital
At our Oakland product development firm, TriMech Design Solutions, we pride ourselves on our high-quality, world-class design services. We understand that product design is more than creating a simple design.
It is also about using innovation to help push forward, progress, and really make a difference in society and in the world around us. There are many ways in which product design can help others, and one huge way is through accessibility.
What Does Our Oakland Product Development Firm Define as an ‘Accessible Product?’
Our Oakland product development firm understands that a successful product is almost always one that is easy to use and straightforward in its function. Creating an accessible product means creating a product that is accessible and has easy usability so that people all around the world can enjoy and use it with ease.
For product designers, making an accessible product is one of the most important goals since the goal of a product is for it to work the way it is designed for the world – with its function and purpose in mind. Creating an aesthetically pleasing product may be fun, but if the product is not accessible to people to use, then its purpose becomes redundant.

Why Accessible Products Are Important
Accessibility is a huge part of product design. Our Oakland product development firm believes that not only is making a great product that is easy to use important for making a successful product guaranteed to bring in a profit for an up and coming small businesses, but it also shows empathy towards people who have a more difficult time getting around and getting things done.
Product design is a big factor that can easily help or make someone’s day easier to get through; therefore, having an accessible product is not only great for convenience but also really positively affects the lives of those who may have a more difficult time getting daily tasks done than others.
Our Oakland product development firm follows the idea and understands the importance of the ‘social model’ – a frame that shows disability as a result of the relation between an individual and society due to encountering an external barrier that prevents them from performing a task of participating in experience (such as bad or inaccessible product design).
This social model shows and creates higher expectations for designers when creating products in order to make products that don’t exclude, discriminate, or create a harder situation or experience than usual for people to perform tasks. Thus, accessible products are important because they allow everyone to participate in society and help make our world easier to live in – overall giving us a sense of belonging.

Accessible products are not just products that can help people with disabilities but also help contribute to society and everyone as a whole. It is the goal of every designer, especially of our team of designers at our Oakland product development firm, TriMech Design Solutions, to create better products, not just for art or aesthetics but to help us create a more inclusive and innovative society.
