Website Usability and Accessibility

Your secret weapon for success

Ever gotten lost on a website, couldn't find what you were looking for and then clicked out feeling frustrated? That's what we call a 'usability' fail.

Or similarly, tried to view a website on your iPhone or iPad only to be told you need the Flash Player to access the site? A clear case of 'accessibility' fail.

Your website needs to perform on all platforms and devices...

Your website needs to be accessible to as large an audience as possible - including people with disabilities, people with older or slower technology (i.e. avoid large file sizes, etc). Your site should also work well on mobile devices such as the iPhone or iPad, along with all operating systems like Microsoft Windows and Apple OS-X, as well as all browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

We implement powerful web usability and accessibility principles, as recommended in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Our websites and online products are developed with the outcomes and recommendations of the WCAG in mind. We work towards the international standards for web technologies as recommended by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). Technically, this means:

  • Writing valid XHTML
  • Writing valid CSS
  • Ensuring our inSite CMS generates valid XHTML and CSS
  • Providing JavaScript and additional technologies that 'degrade' gracefully if they are not supported by different web browsers

Does your website perform across all platforms, devices and web browsers? If not, call us now on 03 9016 5416 for a chat about your site's usability and accessibility.
