Web accessibility

Designing with accessibility in mind enables your web site content to be available to the largest possible number of readers, visitors or customers, regardless of disability or the type of access technology used. Businesses providing accessible information and services online are open to a wider range of customers. Stuff and Nonsense are renowned for creating highly accessible sites without compromising on visual appeal.

Accessibility is not limited to the disabled

Accessibility is not simply about creating web content that is available to the disabled. Our accessibility techniques also help non-disabled customers who are not using PCs to access the web.

Whilst software including Bobby and Macromedia Dreamweaver MX2004 aid designers in developing more accessible code, no software product can replace human experience and human testing. Our testing suite is partly staffed by visually impaired people who use common assistive technologies including Jaws to ensure full usability to all customers.

Search engines are blind

The biggest and most important blind visitors to any web site are search engines like Google. Search engine crawlers cannot see design and look for meaningful, structured content. Our accessibility techniques ensure that search engines are easily able to access your content, improving positions and increasing visitor numbers.
