Accessibility

Web site accessibility is about providing equal access to all users, regardless of ability, technology or situation.

Web site accessibility, contrary to popular belief, does not just affect people with visual impairments. It also addresses the needs of a much wider audience, including people with dyslexia, those with restricted upper body mobility, the hard of hearing and the elderly.

The internet is the largest information resource in the world, and it continues to grow exponentially. People should not be denied access to this resource simply because of an impairment and poor web site development practices.

There are a series of guidelines laid down by the Web site Accessibility Initiative to aid web site developers in creating accessible web sites. At Tower Internet we take these guidelines into consideration for every site we develop.

We can show you how your web site is perceived by users with disabilities and help you understand how this affects your organisation.

We can take the worry away by setting up your site to comply with all relevant accessibility guidelines and legislation.
