Would you love to increase your market share, get more customers, have more people use your site.
Well most web sites are shutting out part of their potential audience by simply not looking at website accessibility.
With the updating of the accessibility guidelines (from WCAG 1 to WCAG 2) the need for ensuring any web sites or services are adhering to the new guidelines isn’t just a luxury item, in Australia it’s a legal requirement.
The focus on accessibility at radharc is not just on making a web site compliant to the various recommended guidelines.
Any device, application, website that interacts with people should be designed inclusively from the beginning so that everyone can use it with ease.
Doing this from the planning stage means that you are not precluding people who are:
- Over 35 years of age, that’s about when your vision starts to degrade.
- Blind or have poor vision
- Suffering a sports injury to a hand
- Colour blind
- Wheelchair bound
- Unable to use a mouse
- Can’t remember things a few minutes ago
- In rural locations with slow connections
- Using a mobile device
