Web Site Accessibility

You may be turning your back on some of your customers.

Many Web sites, because of the way they are designed and coded, form obstacles to people with visual, auditory, or motor disabilities.

20% of Americans have a disability; 40% of them use the Internet. Can you afford to ignore this potential audience?

The advantages of addressing this audience are clear: expansion or maintenance of your customer base, a decrease in costly customer complaints, reduced potential for liability, and increased usability for everyone.

Web site accessibility for all

Government and businesses are starting to build accessibility features into their sites, using guidelines set by the government or the World Wide Web Consortium. These specifications are subject to interpretation. Many Web development firms will focus on making sites conform to the strict letter of the law, but end up creating sites that are unusable by disabled visitors. Brook Group believes that accessibility means going beyond the law to make sites more usable to people of all abilities and backgrounds.

Brook Group really knows this stuff. With over 10 years experience developing accessible Web sites, we employ specialists in US government’s Section 508 and W3C WCAG guidelines. We have designed government Web sites for DOJ, DOE, the White House, and many commercial and non-profit organizations. We offer flexible programs to meet your budget and business needs.
