Accessible websites

Ensuring full accessibility and usability for people, platforms and search engines

Our websites are tested to be accessible to the highest levels, which is now a British legal requirement. Accessibility is about ensuring everyone can interact with your website, this includes users on a range of browsers, screen resolutions, operating systems and people with disabilities. Not only is this a worthy pursuit but it also increases the amount of people who can view your site, a good thing.

Usable websites

We design all our websites with usability in mind which means the sites are easy to use and the users can easily find the information they need. We usually arrange small focus groups to review your website design and discuss any ways to improve the ease of use of your site. When creating websites we will ensure the following

• The navigation is clear and easy to use
• Accessibility - can the sites be used be search engines and disabled users
• Will the user find what they want in the minimum amount of clicks
• The pages are quick to download

Search Engine Friendly Websites

We not only consider how your customers will see your website but also how the search engines will rank your site. For this reason we will ensure that

• URLs of the site include keywords relating to the content of the page
• Every page has a title describing what the page is about this will be displayed by google and at the top of the browser
• Every page has a heading displayed at the start of the page content
• Every page has a meta-description which is used by Google as the description of the site
• There is no content which the search engines can not read due to flash or frames
• We provide a static site map and a Google sitemap - both of which help to ensure the site is spidered quickly and regularly
