Accessibility has
become an important factor in web design, as organisations like
the RNIB
have started to take legal action against
companies with accessibility problems under the Disability Discrimination
Act for failing to make their sites accessible to people with visual
impairments.
The Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG) are an effort to establish guidelines for useable accessible
sites.
Bighorse Design Policy
We design our sites to provide the highest amount of accessibility we can.
Although a site does not have to be 100% accessible, we take every effort
to make
sure our sites meet as many standards as possible. Particular
designs and styles
of site do effect accessibility and so we do our best to design around
these limitations. New software has allowed us to test our sites prior to
publishing
to check for problems and help correct them. If you have any particular
issues about the accessibility of your site you should discuss
these with us prior
to the start of your job.
