You must understand the audience characteristics and the needs of the audience.

Younger audiences are generally open to new interfaces, while older audiences may prefer a more intuitive design and require training.

Location affects cultural references, access to high speed internet and language.
What does the education and technical skill of an audience determine?
It determines the level of complexity the audience can handle.
Why should an audience's interests be considered?
Interests influence design elements and the user experience, so the solution can be made to cater to what users enjoy.

A solution should consider users with visual impairments, users with hearing impairments, and users with limited mobility.

Accessibility features include screen readers, high contrast mode, closed captions, transcripts and alternative control methods such as voice commands.
