Improving Website Look, Accessibility and Useability
If you currently have a website, you may be unhappy with the way your site design & functionality compares to your competitors.
You may also unwittingly be in breach of Accessibility regulations dictated in the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, and you may also be breaking other regulations for trading online, which could leave you facing a hefty fine.
Overhauling Your Website
WebExpress can take a look at your website, and assess it's content & construction for useability & accessibility flaws. We'll present you with a plan to approve, and from there we'll make changes to your site.
Free Evaluation
If you're concerned about issues like usability & accessibility, WebExpress can conduct a free evaluation of your website. We'll provide a report detailing any areas we think can be improved, and alert you if your site doesn't ahere to website ownership rules & regulations. We'll tell you the cost of improving each area, and then you're free to choose which work to proceed with.
The Benefits
In addition to ensuring you're complying with the law, a website overhaul can also improve navigation, page loading times, and search engine friendliness. This could ultimately result in more visitors, who will stay on your site longer than the previously would have. If you're an online retailer, you should also see improvements in conversion ratio - that is, the number of visits that actually end in a sale.
What is Accessibility?
Accessibility on the internet covers more than just disabled access, including allowing problem-free access to your website from various devices, including televisions, mobile phones & PDAs. It also includes making allowances for users with screens of differing sizes, different browsers, and individuals who don't have browser plugins such as Flash installed.
Accessiblity for the Disabled
For people with disabilities like mobility or sensory problems, the internet is a double edged sword. The ability to shop from home, for example, can be a boon for an individual who finds getting out to shop a challenge. A web site, however, may also present a difficult challenge for a disabled person.
A visually impaired internet, for example, may need to use a screen reader to convert web pages into spoken format, via a speech synthesiser, or onto a Braille display. This type of user will have problems understanding a site if images are displayed on the web page without a text alternative.
The above is just one example, but users of your site may have a range of disabilities including tunnel vision, partial blindness, motor problems, and cognitive impairments.
Barriers to access by individuals suffering any disability can be interpreted as discrimination, and may make you target for legal action. Please follow this link if you would like more information regarding website ownership & the law.
