Accessibility

After the 1999 addition to The Disability Discrimination Act (1995) a series of obligations was introduced to ensure that disabled people were offered equal access to all services. Shops and public buildings are required by law to ensure that they are accessible for all and a Website must also consider these factors.

Many disabled people rely on the Internet for a great deal of services and a recent survey has shown that many established sites are failing disabled people on this level.

Here at Mackin Multimedia we strive to ensure that our sites meet all of these standards and provide many navigational features to enable disabled customers to enjoy a fair experience. Text alternatives are provided on images for those using text readers, colour schemes are chosen with a substantial contrast for people with colour blindness and keyboard navigation is adopted for customers unable to use a mouse.

If you are concerned that your existing site has not been built to these standards please call us for a no obligation consultation and examination of your Website.
