Website Design

AcceedMK provides a full website design and development service.

Users are able to determine if they like a website or not in the first twentieth of a second. A study by researchers in Canada has shown that the ultra fast decisions Internet users make about the quality of a web page have a lasting impact on their opinions. This shows that the design of a website is probably one of the most important parts of the whole package.

Our design team take great care ensuring that our clients get the message they want their business to portray on the internet in an attractive and accessible way.

AcceedMK design websites with the following points in mind.

• Provide text equivalents for non-text elements
• Ensure good colour contrast between foreground and background
• Pages must be usable when scripts and applets are turned off or not supported
• Avoid too much movement in the pages
• Avoid pop-ups and don't change window without telling the user
• Divide large blocks of information into manageable chunks
• Clearly identify the target of each link
• Use the clearest and simplest language possible
• These points help your websites become more accessible 

Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits others, including older people with changing abilities due to aging.

Web accessibility also benefits people without disabilities. For example, a key principle of Web accessibility is designing Web sites and software that are flexible to meet different user needs, preferences, and situations. This flexibility also benefits people without disabilities in certain situations, such as people using a slow Internet connection, people with "temporary disabilities" such as a broken arm, and people with changing abilities due to aging.

With over £20 billion spent on the internet last year a proportion of that amount would have been from people with disabilities. If your website has not been built with accessibility in mind you are loosing potential business.
