We all would agree that denying a person wheelchair access to a building is wrong, denying access to your company's website is equally unfair and discrimanatory. Beyond ensures accessibility compliance through the adoption of it's accessible content management system, that not only gives your website a wider audience, it also abides to legal requirements. The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requires that websites are accessible to blind and disabled users.
In order to provide equal access and equal opportunity to people with disabilities, the barriers that may prevent people from entering and using your website must be removed. Beyond achieves this with their technology called ClearText.
Advantages of being accessible:
- Your site will access a wider audience
- An increase in website usability increases sales
- Improvements in website performance keeps your audience engaged
- You satisfy legal requirements
- Demonstrate corporate and social responsibility
