Separate Yourself from the crowd with an Inclusive, Accessible Website.
INCLUSIVE DESIGN
One goal of your website is for people to be able to find it and access the information you want them to know about you. The more people who visit your website, the more potential for you to gain new clients and new referrals.
Many designers create websites designed with barriers that prevent people with disabilities from accessing them. By preventing disabled persons from accessing your website, you are missing out on a large segment of the population who can hire you, buy from you and refer to you.
Web accessibility also benefits people without disabilities, for example:
people using mobile phones, smart watches and other devices with small screens, different input modes, etc.older people with changing abilities as they age,people with “temporary disabilities” such as a broken arm or lost glasses,people with “situational limitations” such as in bright sunlight or where the reflection on the screen makes it difficult to see or in an environment where they cannot listen to audio such as a noisy coffee shop or at work,people using a slow Internet connection, or who have limited or expensive bandwidth.
We integrate accessibility into every area of your website to provide equal access and equal opportunity to this many times overlooked population.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE
If your web person or marketing company is telling you that this compliance is not important, you should be beware of the financial and legal liability you could be exposed to. Don’t be lured by a quick-fix or “plug-in” solution.
Laws relating to Internet Privacy (external site) vary by State.
Web accessibility is not new. In 2000, PCWorld published this story titled “Web Sites Inch Toward Accessibility (external site).”
