Accessibility

What is it?

Website accessibility refers to the ability of people with disabilities to use the Internet. It is an area of increasing concern to organisations for a number of reasons including financial, moral and legal. The Usability Company is deeply involved with helping organisations meet their obligations with regard to accessibility and here we provide information that employers need to be aware of. But first some questions:

Is your organisation aware of its' obligations under the Disabilities Discrimination Act (DDA) for website accessibility?

Are you aware of the massive potential client base that want to, but cannot, buy your goods and services?

Does your organisation recognise its' moral obligation to shareholders, employees and customers for providing access to all?

You can find answers to these questions and more in the information provided through the links below.
