Accessibility
Accessibility is about enabling those with disabilities or changing abilities, perhaps due to aging, to be able to perform those everyday tasks that other people may take for granted such as navigating, understanding and interacting with the web.
Website accessibility is now a legal requirement in most countries and there are serious ramifications for non-compliance. This legislation also forces websites to reconsider how they render content to devices with smaller screens and in low bandwidth situations.
WebDeck content management system helps you manage an accessible website and overcome some of the laborious methods previously employed to maintain compliant sites. WebDeck can allow configurable accessibility settings such as Bobby AAA, XHTML and CSS validators, these can be built into the CMS as standard, thereby ensuring compliance during editing and before you publish. Additionally, training your users (administrators, editors and authors) in the methods required to ensure conformance to these standards will significantly lower costs as it eradicates the need for external accessibility consultants or software tools in 'after-the event' scenarios.
Ultimately, WebDeck can be configured in such a way as to prevent the entry of non-accessible data altogether. If you are concerned about the compliance of your website, or want to get a free quick accessibility audit contact us and we can start the ball rolling.
