Accessibile websites and section.508

At Galor design, Israeli web design
& development studio,
we are aware of the importance
of having web content accessible
to as many audiences as possible.

Any surfer who can't reach your
content is a potential client lost.
Approximately 16% of all surfers have
a physical or technological handicap
of some sort.

Do you want to drive them away?

The majority of websites still don't take WCAG (W3C accessibility guidelines) into consideration.
This is where you can use the advantage.

An accessible site is easier to navigate even for non-handicapped users.
It requires less of an effort in trying to figure out the ins and outs, is more tidy and organized and equally important – gets bonus points with search engines, that are eager to promote accessible sites.

When users surf sites that don't conform to WCAG, they usually get a disrupted site, that is hard to navigate, and very time and effort consuming. Even normal users may experience frustration and disorientation when they come by a hastily designed site, with no consideration for slower or old fashioned surfers.

Accessibility

At Galor design Israeli web design & development studio we are aware of the fact that when it comes to web design, we must take all sort of populations into account. Some surfers suffer from disabilities such as: blindness and color blindness, motorical injuries, learning disabilities and language disabilities. Many users don't have complete mastery of the technology they operate, or the language they use.

Accessibility

Technological limitations are much more common and can be:

1. Improper use of existing tech (hesitant use of the mouse with older users).
2. Limited use of existing tech (Anti-Virus software disabling certain browser features, Users who haven't installed basic applets, etc).
3. Use of older tech (users who haven't updated their browser for several years, etc).

At Galor design we will be happy to provide you with a WCAG compliant website, that makes sure everyone can reach your content and put it to efficient use. This is true even for Flash sites.
