Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0

23 December 2008

As you know we put a lot of effort into making sure that the websites we build are accessible to all kinds of users and search engine spiders. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has recently released a new set of guidelines describing how best to make a site accessible for disabled users:

"Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 covers a wide range of recommendations for making Web content more accessible. Following these guidelines will make content accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities and will also often make your Web content more usable to users in general."

Needless to say, we already follow most of the recommendations in this document, but if you have particular concerns or standards to meet in terms of accessibility let us know and we can optimise your website and test to make sure that it's easy to use even in screen readers and other text-only browsers.
