Balancing usability and accessibility in UI/UX design is about ensuring that your product is both easy to use and accessible to everyone. It's important to consider all users from the start, including those with disabilities. This means prioritizing things like intuitive navigation, clear fonts, and high-contrast colors. Regular testing with diverse users can help ensure that your design works well for everyone, without compromising on functionality or aesthetics.
