What is accessibility?

Web accessibility refers to the practice of making websites that can be used by people of all abilities and disabilities.

Elements that affect accessibility include:

  • Those with a visual impairment
  • Those who are blind
  • Those people who are deaf or have difficulty hearing
  • Those who find a keyboard or mouse hard to use
  • Those who find words difficult to read
  • Those with epilepsy who may have seizures brought on by flickering or flashing content
  • Colour Blind users

The World Wide Web Consortium

(W3C) is an international community that develops open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web and have developed web content accessibility guidelines. We endeavour to meet these guidelines and monitor future developments to improve the way the website operates.
