Click-Away Pound is a research survey designed to explore the online shopping experience of people with disabilities and examine the cost to business of ignoring disabled shoppers.
Online shops should be open for everyone, but what if you can't use a mouse, or see the screen, or hear the sound? The UK’s 11 million people with a limiting long term illness, impairment or disability should be amongst those who benefit most from online access to the UK’s major retailers. But many retailers still don't design and build their websites to include everyone, turning away millions of customers and billions in sales.
In 2016, the survey suggested that more than 4 million people abandoned a retail website because of the barriers they found, taking their money elsewhere.
This year we wanted to see what has changed. Has business listened? Has online shopping become any easier for people with disabilities?
