Web Content Accessibility..

If you have a physical office or storefront, you are probably aware of the guidelines you had to follow and the safety procedures you had to implement to ensure that your business was accessible for people with a disability.

Well you website is no different and chances are if you already have a website designed and launched, there are things you will need to change to bring it into line with the necessary web content accessibility guidelines. But don’t worry because these guidelines are incorporated into all of our new websites, meaning your new web presence will be perfectly accessible and compliant.

The accessibility guidelines include options for an alternative to audio or visual content for users impaired in these ways. The guidelines also recommend website design doesn’t rely on colour alone as complex designs can be easily confusing.  It is also recommended that websites use markup and style sheets correctly, that they clarify natural language usage, tables and new technologies transform gracefully and that the user is in control of time sensitive content changes.

A fully accessible website will also ensure direct accessibility of embedded user interfaces, be designed for device independence, provide content and orientation information, clear navigation mechanisms and display documents which are clear and simple.

Ensuring that your new website adheres to the accessibility guidelines may sound like a lot of effort, however, many of the requirements and changes are things which will make it easier for everyone to use your site, whether they have a disability or not. The guidelines will also not infringe on the designs and styles you want to use on your website, and you will probably not even notice many of the accessibility changes we will include on your site.
