About Accessible Web Design

Have you ever tried to access an Internet site, only to find that you could not access the site due to having an older browser, or not having a certain plug-in? Accessibility means building a website that works for everyone, regardless of his or her technology or ability level. Presskey provide this accessible web design service by writing sites that are Bobby Compliant.

There are legal (DDA) and business reasons for paying close attention to the accessibility of your website.

When designing for the Internet (accessible web design) this means thinking about people with different technology levels (browser, plug-in, etc.) and people with different disabilities who may be accessing the Internet in a slightly different way. This includes people who are:

• Visually impaired
• Blind.
• Have a physical disability.
• Hearing impaired.
• Colour blind.
• Cognitive impaired (for example dyslexia).

PressKey provides accessibility by designing a site that is accessible to all and passes the Bobby compliant guidelines.

PressKey have attained AAA Bobby Approved status. Why has PressKey become Bobby approved and what is Bobby?

Bobby is a software tool that tests web pages for compliance using the guidelines established by the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Access Initiative (WAI), as well as section 508 guidelines from the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) of the U.S. Federal Government.
