Accessible Design

Almost every service provider realises that they could be affected by the Disability Discrimination Act and most are quite willing to comply. However, many business's and organisation's, whilst installing ramps and loop systems, forget about the equally important subject of accessible information. If people can't read your literature, use your product catalogue or view your web site then you may not only be discriminating against a sizeable section of the population but losing business too.

At Gateshead Access Panel we can help you to present information in the most accessible way. Work that we have undertaken for various statutory and local bodies includes - accessible booklets, posters, information guides and leaflets.

Web Site Design and Consultancy

We can also design and produce accessible web sites, multimedia presentations and we can audit your existing information provision for accessibility.

Using the most suitable markup language for better compatibility with text-only browsers and new mobile devices, all of our web sites also aim to achieve 'Triple A' standards as laid down by the WAI or Web Accessibility Initiative. Besides using accessibility guidelines we also have members who test sites and other information for usability.
