Accessible website design specialists

Accessible website design specialists are in extremely strong demand in the UK right now because of the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act - the DDA - which makes it a legal obligation of organisations and businesses who provide information to the public to make it available to everyone regardless of any disability or impairment they might have.

Disability is not limited to visual impairment, but includes motor/mobility and cognitive problems, ranging from slight to deeply impairing.

If a user can not use a mouse to navigate your website, or has difficulty interpreting and understanding long and wordy blocks of text that have been authored for print, then your website can be deemed inaccessible. If you do not supply alt tags on graphical elements, or your menuing system in inconsistent or confusing then you are also likely to fall foul of the standards by which accessible website design have been established.

If accessibility is an important issue to your organisation right now and you want to consult with accessibility experts for an audit or full review then please get in touch with ecru - accessibility experts who understand the importance of good design and creative branding, but also realise that without conveying your message to every possible member of your audience as fairly as possible you are alienating your organisation, and under achieving on your potential.
