Accessible Website Design

Looking for a new accessible website or looking to making your existing website more accessible?

Cornish WebServices specialise in accessible websites. All websites designed by Cornish WebServices are designed with accessibility in mind as standard, together with other industry standards.

Why create accessible websites?

Because it is the law
Because accessible websites offer huge business benefits.

Cornish WebServices provide a range of services to help organisations update their existing websites to meet current accessibility standards. These include:

accessibility consultancy
accessibility testing
modifying existing websites to meet current disability legislation
re-designing an existing website to become accessible

Why should websites be accessible?

Firstly it is the law - all websites should comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). From 1st October 1999, the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 requires that organisations with a website do not discriminate against certain users. This is an obligation on both the client and the website designer.

Secondly the most important website user (Google) is blind. It makes business sense to create accessible websites. We estimate it cost an extra 5% at the design phase to create an accessible website, and saves many times the website cost in reduced marketing costs. For a business website the marketing saving is likely to be much greater.
