It is vitally important that the information on websites is available to everyone, no matter what age or disability they may have. The UK Disability Discrimination Act 1995 applies to accessibility websites, and is being actively enforced by the Disability Rights Commission.
We are able to provide your site with highest views of accessibility; ensuring your site is standards compliant to the latest rules and regulation.
Accessibility - what does it mean?
Making your website as accessible to the widest possible audience you need to provide all users access and navigation to the whole site - independent of browser, operating system or personal disability.
If a blind person wants to access your site, you need to make sure that the navigation is clearly labelled and navigable via a screen reader. All graphics have text alternatives and content shouldn't appear in pop up windows.
Accessibility Standards
There are several levels of accessibility standards that we can comply with. It is very dependant on your target audience is and the content you are providing. If your site is a public consultation website it need to follow the highest levels of accessibility.
