Website accessibility focuses on making their experiences more accessible in a variety of ways,
With an emphasis on diversifying your content's /usability you can help many customers interact and understand your brand in a better more meaningful way.
Imagine a situation where you can’t use a conventional point-to-interact device like a mouse; a situation where, in order to get to a desired interactive element, you have to traverse the ones the come before it on the web page.
This can give you the insight of someone with limited hand movements and the difficulty they might have searching through your content.

Landing on Alex Dram’s UX/UI portfolio homepage, you're greeted with a minimalist array of purple triangles and a few words about who Alex is as a designer. But with just a tiny movement down the screen, these shapes pull into an arrow-like configuration, headed straight into the planetary-like landscape that unfolds before it. Alex’s use of parallax scrolling brings someone along the journey that is the galaxy of his work.
This three-dimensional sleight of hand happens through parallax, while the visual move at different speeds. We love seeing parallax used for artful purposes, and this does so much in giving this website a unique spacey atmosphere.
