Our Approach to Accessibility
Recent legislation has made real demands on website owners. Is your site up to scratch or could you be caught out by the Discrimination Disability Act 1995? Could that hurt your business? Is it hurting your clients right now? Indeed, how many potential customers are you losing because they can't see, read or hear your site?
So, why should your website be accessible?
Organisations that offer goods and services on the web have a legal duty to make their sites accessible*. Accessible and inclusive sites give the broadest possible access to information, services and products to all users, not just those with disabilities. Demonstrating a commitment to accessibility projects a positive image for your company and staff. And, accessible websites allow you to take advantage of communicating with the newest multimedia technologies from mobiles and blackberries to PDAs and public kiosks.
Meeting all the right accessibility requirements is an integral part of our design service. Whether you are a private company, a non-profit organisation or an agency working with special needs clients we can ensure that your site meets and/or exceeds the statutory requirements set by the DDA 1995, the W3C Web Accessibility Initiatives priority levels I, II and III and becomes Bobby approved.
Call us to arrange a meeting or learn more yourself by attending one of our Web Accessibility workshops.
