Greenwood Solutions and Accessible Web Design

Greenwood Solutions believe that website developers have an ethical, and at times a legal obligation to create web platforms that are inclusive and accessible. We make every effort to ensure that the websites we develop are usable, inclusive and accessible regardless of disability/ability.

To ensure the same level of experience for as many people as possible we build interoperable websites using WAI recommendations and standards-compliant design technologies.

Why make Websites accessible?
some users may have a visual disability or colour blindness
some people will visit your website via screen readers or text only browsers
some users may be using a refreshable braille display.
not everyone can use a pointing device such as a mouse
some users will only use their keyboard to navigate around your site
not everyone has access to Broadband internet connections
not everyone uses an Internet Browser that supports Java, Javascript, Flash, or ActiveX controls
users may find if difficult to see very small text so fonts need to be adjustable
images are not always displayed! Some images convey meaning so alternative text equivalents are important if the image is not displayed. Screen readers read it and text-only browsers display it!
some users will be people who may have Dyslexia or a Learning Difficulty
Internet enabled mobile phones or PDA's only have limited support for large images, Flash and JavaScript.
your website will be compatible with future browsing technologies

accessible websites often appear higher in search engine rankings
