More than the disabled, accessibility goes beyond just designing for people with physical or cognitive disabilities. Accessibility is about making your site available to the widest possible audience no matter what their browser, device, connection speed or disability.

Accessibility makes sense from a business perspective as well as a moral and legal one. Why turn away visitors to your site just because they are using a dial up connection, do not have the latest browser technology or have poor vision?

Even meeting the most basic levels of accessible design puts you ahead of the majority of sites online.

 Accessibility Minimize

Accessibility is about the ability of different visitors being able to actually use and interact with your site. Is the site suitable for use by people with visual impairment or impaired motor functions? Is it compatible with their screen reader? Can the site be accessed by different types of equipment and devices? There is increasing legislation in this area, and poor accessibility is artificially restricting the numbers of people able to view your website.

Cloudless always builds with accessibility in mind and regards this as an integral part of any website build, particularly in the third sector. The level of accessibility the website will meet is determined with the client during the planning stage.

Once established we will achieve accessibility through:

  • the design of the website
  • the technical build
  • copy writing and use of plain English in the site content

Example Triple "AAA" site

In 1998, Cloudless developed and has since maintained The Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales website which is "Triple-A" and all Priority 1, 2, and 3 checkpoints will be satisfied to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 specification.

The Foundation is one of the largest independent grant-makers in the UK, funding thousands of charities working to tackle disadvantage across England and Wales. With an income of £26.8 million in 2007, the Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales has given grants of over £115 million over the last five years.

  • Accessibility is about more than building for the disabled
  • Doing something about accessibility is better than doing nothing at all
  • WAI guidelines are the start of good accessibility, not the end

These underlying principles hold true even where current practice about how to ensure the best level of accessibility changes (which is constantly happening as new techniques are developed)
