ACCESSIBILITY

What is Web Accessibility?

Some people may have difficulty using your website. Some may not be able to use it at all.

People use the web in different ways. Some people may not be able to use a mouse. Other people will lack the dexterity required to use a keyboard. A blind user may have difficulty accessing your site, not because she can’t see, but because you don’t have a website that works with the tools that read the site to her.

Everyone has the right to access the web. All our web services are geared towards providing a high standard of accessibility as part of the package. We don’t believe that providing accessibility should be an extra cost. Legislation in the UK dictates that all web sites should be accessible, it is also our moral obligation to make sure that all our Web material has been tested to ensure it is usable by people with disabilities.

We don’t believe that accessibility should be an optional extra, so the only web sites we produce are accessible web sites

Web Accessibility applies to some Internet users who may…
