Website Accessibility
Website accessibility means that people who are less able can easily engage with the Internet. More specifically, website accessibility means that those with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate and interact with the Internet - so that they too can contribute to the Internet. Website accessibility also benefits those without specific disabilities, including older people with changing abilities.
From 2008, all DUSZA's websites validate to strict compliancy of W3C guidelines (and that's as good as you can get!).
Millions of people have disabilities which affect their use of the Internet. Currently, most websites and web software have accessibility barriers which make it difficult or impossible for those with disabilities to use the Internet. As more accessible websites and software become available, people with disabilities are able to use and contribute to the Internet more effectively.
Website accessibility also benefits people without disabilities, because it ensures flexibility to meet different users needs, preferences and situations.
DUSZA is an advocate of website accessibility. We strictly adhere to guidelines set out by organisations such as W3C - the World Wide Web Consortium. Mixed with our own initiative and understanding, the websites which we craft are robust and sympathetic to accessibility issues.
DUSZA has developed a number of websites for organisations and charities that are specifically targeted at an audience that may require extended accessibility orientated technology. Two examples of DUSZA's accessibility capabilities are Xtraordinary People, who are a high profile charity raising awareness of dyslexia in the UK, and Lexxic, an organisation that aims to help people with dyslexia achieve their full potential.
As further awareness regarding disabilities is raised, internet browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer are becoming more accessibility friendly with features such as the new zoom facility, which is quite different from simple text size adjuster the zoom facility can increase or decrease the size of the whole page.
