Hot Topic: Web Accessibility, and why you should know about it

Read this and tell your business associates about it too.

‘Accessibility’ is the ability of a website to be equally accessible and usable for all people, including those with disabilities such as poor vision.

Accessibility is a legal requirement under Anti-Discrimination and Equal Opportunity legislation including the Australian Disability Discrimination Act. This is likely to become an important issue for Australian businesses, with the web industry closely following a court case against Virgin Blue.

If you would like to know more about the legal requirements or the Virgin Blue case, please contact us and we will send you the relevant links.

In addition, accessibility is socially responsible and makes sense from a marketing perspective.

Our standard practice is to build websites that conform to international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. However, you might have inadvertently created some non-conforming content while using your content management system.

The Eduka Quick Guide to Web Accessibility has more information about this important topic.

For complete peace of mind, contact us to discuss a review of your website.

Now is the time to look at ways to improve the Return on Investment (ROI) from your website.

We often find that a client starts with a simple website and then, over time, identifies new opportunities to use it to increase sales or reduce costs. Perhaps you could too.

Contact us for an informal discussion about where your business is heading, and how to make your website a more powerful business tool.

Success Story – Radiator

An example of a business that we are helping to succeed online is Radiator.

Radiator is a long time client of Eduka and late last year we completely overhauled the website to align with a shift in business focus. After conducting an exhaustive user analysis with the client, we implemented the solution and the results were amazing - sales have increased and growing every month despite the current economic environment!

As well as providing the back-end system and secure online shopping, we help Radiator attract more customers by continually monitoring site traffic statistics and improving the site’s Search Engine Optimisation.

Did you know?

Even if you don’t sell anything on the web, you may benefit from an online payment system.

No matter how you deliver your products or services, you can improve cash flow by offering the option of secure credit card payments on your website. Our own online payment form is an example.

We will be pleased to explain what is involved and explore whether it is a cost-effective option for your business.
