Accessibility, Usability and Standards
Building an easy to use website to world class standards
Making your website universally easy to use
To maximise its effectiveness your website must be very easy to use with highly intuitive functionality. Our expertise delivers websites designed according to world class best practice, using the KISS (Keep It Simple) principle to ensure website users are converted to sales or enquiries.
Making your website easy to use extends to using the latest browser functionality to give increased control to the website user. This can include allowing users to increase the font size on your web site, navigate with shortcut keys and even apply their own choice of colour. Accessibility and cross browser compatibility should always be a key consideration highlighted by your chosen web designer.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) provides the main industry guidelines and verification tools for industry standard coding. Adhering to these standards helps ensure good search engine performance, websites that function correctly on all browsers and code that can be worked on by a wide range of website designers and web developers.
The two main W3C standards that we practice are XHTML and CSS and we ensure that our websites conform to WAI accessibility standards.
