  1. What is online accessibility?
    Publication Date: 30/05/2007
    Online accessibility is about ensuring that a website is as accessible as possible to everyone, irrespective of physical or learning restrictions, their experience or the method they are using to access the website.

    Publication Date: 01/06/2007
    The UK-government-funded Disability Rights Commission reported in April 2004 that it is “only a matter of time” before companies that ignore online accessibility issues will face legal action from disabled users.
  3. Maintaining brand consistency
    Publication Date: 07/06/2007
    Think about the brands you regularly use or buy. You have a clear picture in your mind about how this brand looks, what it stands for and its purpose. Imagine going to the website for one of these brands (let’s say Coca Cola) and suddenly discovering that the logo on the website is blue instead of red and in a different font. You’d probably feel quite confused. You’d probably wonder if you’d gone to the wrong website by mistake.
  4. Alt tags
    Publication Date: 06/06/2007
    Alt Tags are the shorthand phrase for Alternative Tags and their purpose is rather simple; to provide equivalent information in the form of text for page elements such as images. Alt tags should also be attached to area, input and applet tags.

Be it a daring contemporary design or an extension of pre-existing corporate branding, what we aim to achieve is a finished product that strikes the right compromise between eye candy and ease of use and navigation.
