What is Accessibility?

Accessibility can almost be described as usability - but although your web site may seem perfectly usable to some people, a large proportion of your potential audience can be excluded through the use of older technology or poor design.

Is my web site Accessible?

If your web site is more than 2 years old it is probably not Standards Compliant or Accessible. Even newer websites, unless coded correctly may not pass the simplest of tests.

New development techniques such as XHTML and CSS are available to help future-proof and transform your web site into a communication medium that can be accessed much more easily by people with poor sight or other disabilities and can also make your site available to users of mobile phones, PDAs and WebTV, widening your audience even further.

Free Web Site Accessibilty Testing

There are many excellent sites offering automated online testing facilities where you can check whether or not your existing web site is up to scratch.

A list of online tools has been compiled below. The tools will allow you to enter a website address such as www.accessiblesites.co.uk in order to supply a report.

Before checking your site for accessibility you must first check that the html and css code are free from errors - just use the tools in the order shown.

If you find these reports difficult to understand please contact our Web Accessibility Specialist with your web site details and we will provide a much simpler summary free of charge.
