We Don't Call Ourselves Accessible Computing® for Nothing!

web site accessibility and usability services in charlotte, nc

While there may be some overlap, website accessibility and usability are actually two different concepts. Website accessibility generally refers to the ability of disabled Internet users to access a site's content. The term, though, is not limited to accommodations for the disabled.

Accessibility has another meaning as well in the world of website design and development. With the soaring popularity of Internet-enabled cell phones, PDAs and portable music players, accessibility has also come to mean the ability for people to view your site on devices other than a traditional computer.

Website usability refers to how easy it is for a visitor to use your website. Important usability elements include the site's layout and navigation system. The goal is to create as pleasant a user experience as possible.

Accessible Computing® is founded on the belief that every website should be accessible to and usable by as many people as possible.

Accessible Computing® strongly recommends a proactive approach to accessibility. Many website owners wait until a complaint has been brought before they take steps to become Section 508External Link Icon compliant. Assuring your website's accessibility now can save you considerable time and money later on down the road. Want to know how your site's doing with accessibility? We're here to help.
