Does Your Site Make You Illegal?Building a site that is accessible to text to voice and text to brail visitors makes common sense. There are over two million people with sight problems in the UK. Good design can make your websites, information materials, goods and services accessible to them. Further more these efforts are easy to implement, with the proper knowledge, and go a long way to improving your placement in search engine results. What's involved?Accessibility is the degree to which anyone can access and use a website using any web browsing technology. A fully accessible site is one that is designed to make use of the latest web technologies such as multimedia, while at the same time accommodating the needs of those who have difficulty with or are unable to use these technologies.Well designed graphics and multimedia are a positive aid to using and understanding websites. Our developers maintain W3C coding standards throughout our web developments and, proudly, within our cutting edge content management system. A solution that allows accessible pages and content to be added by our clients, easily, without any special knowledge. Checking your siteWhilst much of the accessibility code is hidden behind the scenes, every image on your site should have a description as a bare minimum. If hovering your mouse over an image fails to display a text description, your site is unlikely to be legal, nor does it promote itself to search engines.
