accessibility and standards based design

Is accessibility just the latest buzzword to trip off the tongue of the new media gurus of the City?

For once the answer to this is simple - No, definitely not.

Accessibility is all about creating user-friendly websites. Sites that are easy to use no matter what your technical level of ability is, regardless of the hardware you are using, or if you have a physical disability.

Using the latest web standards your website can provide a unique experience to all users. Your site will offer optimum access to both users with state of the arts browsers and a more streamlined access for people navigating on mobile phones and PDAs. It's all about providing the right format for your users, whilst catering for customers with a disability. I believe this is the cornerstone to making your site accessible to everyone.
