Accessible Web Design & its Benefits
Web accessibility addresses the issue of producing websites that provide equal access to everyone, regardless of their disability, location, experience or technology.
At Cyonix we make certain that all accessible Web sites we deliver conform to the W3C's WCAG 1.0 Guidelines.
Why be Accessible?
The web has been standardised, paving the way for accessible web design and unlocking the barriers once experienced by many consumers and technologies.
Research tells us that just over 10% of the UK´s population has some form of disability. They also have the right and the spending power not to be excluded from accessing the web and its many conveniences.
Presenting your product or service through an accessible website not only fulfils a legal and moral obligation, it can also provide the necessary ramps and technology for your website to tap into affluent niche markets.
The Business Case for Accessible websites
Reduce your Website Maintenance and Labour Costs
Ongoing maintenance and labour cost are a constant concern for any business/oraganisation who promotes themselves through a website. An accessible website utilizes design techniques that drastically minimize the amount of man hours required to update or maintain a website, therefore saving you money.
Increase your websites Market Share and Audience Reach
An accessible website helps expand markets to those with disabilities as well as people using older browsers, different platforms and new web enabled devices including PDA's and mobile phones.
Improve your websites efficiency search engine ranking
An accessible website significantly improves the overall efficiency of your website due to its standardized css and xhtml technology. Web accessibility can improve operations such as:
- Faster download times.
- Higher search engine ranking.
- Easier repurposing of content for a range of Web enabled devices.
