Website Accessibility

Making websites accessible to all users, regardless of ability or disability, is now an essential part of web design and electronic applications for private organisations, commercial businesses, and government agencies alike. Website Optimisation can also provide accessibility evaluations to ensure that your site is accessible to your intended users.

The ideal of accessibility is to have your site readily available for a person’s use, regardless of their abilities and/or the technology they choose to use. It has to be accessible to whatever screen readers or text browsers there are out there. Once this applies then it is accessible to search engine robots as well.

Part 3 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA), which was implemented on the 1st October 2004, refers to the provision of goods, facilities and services and states that service providers must make 'reasonable adjustments' for disadvantaged web users and that the company supplying the service must not fail to take into account their needs and requirements of the service you they offering.

At Optimas Internet Solutions we can now offer advice and guidance on these issues to ensure your site is accessible to the widest possible audience and ensure you stay within the boundaries of the law.  Our services include accessibility testing, user experience reviews, and advice on making your site inclusive to all visitors.
