Compliance, Usability and Accessibility

These are the most important components in successful website design and until now have been the most neglected.

Brief definitions:

Compliance: takes into consideration the validations that are performed by the w3.org. These validations allow the site to be defined to whether or not the site meets coding and css standards across the board.

Usability: making a website easy and fliud to navigate as possible. Delivering information in an easily readable format

Accessibility: making the content of a website available to everyone including those with sight, sound or colour vision impairment.

Why is this important you may wonder?

Usability is the essence good website design

Good website usability should not include the following. If your current site has any of these issues then contact Apollo Websites today to arrange a meeting to discuss options to improve your complaince, usability and accessibility issues.

• the navigation is not immediately understandable
• the navigation makes it difficult to return to previous pages
• online forms do not give confirmations that they have been successful
• the site takes a long time to load - usually caused by too many graphics.
• overfilled web content on the pages

Accessibility? How would I know if my site is accessible.

A good designer can make your websites, information materials, goods and services and buildings accessible to as many people as possible whether they have impairments or not.
