Up to 37 million Europeans, at any point in time, are affected by some form of disability. Increasing the reachability of the internet is one of the goals we set ourselves. The internet is actually giving a second life to a broad range of people who are differently abled.
When buses were built to accomodate for wheelchairs, bus companies realised that they could also accomodate baby prams and push chairs and make the access easier for elderly people. In a similar way, we are convinced that making your website accessible will enhance the potential of your business.

As we start working together, we will raise your accessibility awareness. Here are a few examples to illustrate some factors we take into account:
Some key issues you should seriously consider:
- Accessibility can bring a new market for your products
- Be there before your competitors
- Future proof against discriminatory regulation
- It could be you…
Accessibility has to be part of the initial design process. It will reduce your development costs at a later stage.

Form management
Form management is a key issue for text readers as each input field must match a description. The order of fields is also important as some people cannot use a mouse.
We have invested significant development effort in an advanced form manager. This allows us to build consistent forms that meet all accessibility requirements.

W3C Accreditation
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has established several guidelines to ensure accessibility of websites.
Reaching the various levels of accessibility for your website is a combination of website structure and content. For instance, images displayed on the website need a caption (alt tag) so screen readers can "read" the image legend. It is important the legend is meaningful.
Our technology allows accessible content to be posted to the site. Your staff or copywriter will need to be trained to ensure content makes sense and is formatted properly.
