What does an accessible website design mean?

Return to articles

If you thought website accessibility was just about staying legal, maybe it's time you saw it in a different light. Whilst it's fair to say that the Disability Discrimination Act compels your website to meet new accessibility standards, don't look at the changes as just a necessary evil.

The added benefits of compliance are very real. For starters, the changes in the coding and design will open up your site to more than 9 million disabled customers.

And then there are the users of web-enabled PDAs and mobile phones, who will be able to navigate with ease. The improved searching of your site, by the likes of Google, will deliver more visitors. And the list goes on...

At Firebrand, we have the specialist know-how to ensure your new, or existing site, will meet DDA requirements and W3C standards, right up to Triple A, if needed. We create sites that provide an exciting showcase for your business, make it more productive and the visit a pleasure for each and every one of your customers.
