Delivering internet information to the disabled and to all the latest gadgets requires the same expertise.
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 was updated in 1999 to address usability of websites. Most tools used to design and build sites do not generate pages that conform to disability guidelines.
Providing alternative text for images, fully expanding abbreviations and acronyms, and ensuring navigation experiences are consistent are just some of the requirements for web accessibility. Addressing these issues and more produces a website that is more usable for all visitors.
Is your website displaying correctly? Are all visitors seeing what you're looking at? Web browsers have now been around for many years. Visitors to your website are using different sized screens, different browsers and different versions of browsers. A website designed for accessibility conforms to industry standards. Conforming to these standards ensures all visitors have the same experience.
On screen browsers are not the only future of websites. Mobile phones and personal digital assistants will be used to browse. Those devices can display a website more readily if it conforms to these industry standards.
