web designer newcastle - web accessibility

In 1995 the Disability Discrimination Act was introduced, making it a specific requirement by law for businesses and public sector organisations that people who are disabled should be able to access their products, services and general information.

This act was born when the internet was just starting to take off over 10 years ago and since then organisations like W3C's Web Accessibility Innitiative and encourages designing standards compliant websites to the largest user base possible.

Many internet users are either colour blind, visually impaired, unable to use a computer mouse or dyslexic and by following strict W3C design standards, we can target the largest audience possible for your website.

By implemeting best practice web design to W3C standards your website can be viewed on:-

  • PDA's
  • Mobile Phones
  • Smart Phones
  • Screen Readers (for visually impaired)

Our own website is one of the best examples of web accessibility as you can vaildate it against strict W3C's standards for XHTML 1.0 and CSS.
