Accessible Web Services
Introduction
Conic Computer Solutions are dedicated to designing websites that are:
- Standards compliant
- Accessible
- Usable
Our sites conform fully to WCAG 2.0, a set of techniques published by the WAI of the W3C.
We are also pleased to undertake the accessibility evaluation of existing websites and, where required, offer a full conversion service.
Why an accessible website?
There are several reasons why your website should be accessible:
- Legal reasons - The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 requires it. Under the DDA 1995, website owners have a duty to take reasonable measures to ensure that their websites are accessible to as many people as possible. Although open to interpretation at the time, the Code of Practice (2002) - which is based upon the Act - removes any doubt as to the legal requirements that need to be met by websites.
- There are also social, ethical and sound business reasons why your site should be accessible.
- For full information, you should visit the Web Access Centre of the RNIB and Out-law.
