Web, Website Accessibility

Web site accessibility ensures that people with disabilities and older people can understand, navigate, and interact with your web site.

Millions of people have disabilities that affect how they can use the Internet. At the moment most web sites have accessibility issues that can make it very tricky or impossible for disabled customers to use.  Web accessibility also helps people without disabilities. The idea of Web accessibility is designing web sites that are able to meet different user needs, preferences, and situations.  This can help people using a slow internet connection or with temporary disabilities such as a broken wrist.  An inaccessible website can undervalue the importance of disabled customers and lose you valuable business.

One of the roles of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) is to develop guidelines and techniques that describe accessibility solutions for Web software and Web developers. These WAI guidelines are considered the international standard for Web accessibility.

SCK Web Works understands and implements the WAI guidelines, putting them to use in the initial brief of your web site.

We take your web site ideas onboard and suggest accessibility problems that might be caused.  We then come up with a suitable solution, leading to a web site that is accessible by all. Thus increasing your target audience.
