Website Compliance and Accessibility

Website Compliance and Accessibility are often ignored, but they’re just as important as the more popular topics of Web Design and Search Engine Optimization.

People sometimes invest thousands in keyword analysis and optimization campaigns, when it could be something as simple as the website failing to display or function correctly in a certain browser that’s causing poor performance and failure to generate business.

Insisting on compliant code and accessible design is win-win for all parties — Your website will work perfectly in all browsers, operating systems and platforms, and because the coding technology meets established standards you can rest assured that it won’t suddenly break if someone downloads a new Windows Service Pack or upgrades their browser.

Ensuring that your website is equally accessible to those with disabilities is a legal requirement that too many website owners or designers are either not aware of or wilfully disregard for the sake of saving time and money. Not only are they ignoring a huge potential marketplace but tests have proved that a website optimised for access by, for example, a partially sighted visitor is also far easier for a normally sighted person to use.

Neither compliance nor accessibility needs to be expensive or laborious — Silkweaver prides itself on keeping up to date with best practices established by the World Wide Web Consortium for Compliance and Accessibility. We also fulfil all requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (1995), and Data Protection Act (1998).

Our work is guaranteed to be fully compliant and is rigorously tested from start to finish, ensuring that your website is visually, technically, legally and ethically perfect — no corners cut.

We will tick all your boxes as standard
