As the election looms I thought I would look at whether each major political party really means what it says with regard to accessibility, and just how careful they are about complying generally with accessibility guidelines and the accepted rules of the internet.

Welcome to Jenny Wilding and Mark Barton from Research Plus+ who have just had their website redesigned by us at S3 Web Design.
Research Plus for social and business research, staff and customer surveys etc.
We are delighted to launch Rhonda’s new website for her Home Styling and Home Staging Business. We are happy to welcome Rhonda Deal Homestaging as an S3 Web Design Client.
We are delighted to announce the release of Anglia Skills Academy new website. They offer a range of courses for the offshore and construction industry together with first aid and manual handling training.
ASAL also have a blog on their website.
This website was designed using Desire Solutions CMS.
Well we are still in our field and finally the snow has gone so now we live in a marsh! The snow in melting has turned our beautiful field into a quagmire, I’m sure one side of the campervan is sinking faster than the other as everything rolls to the back of the kitchen worktop.
Obviously now we are reaching the heady heights of even 4C the stand-pipes have finally defrosted which means a celebratory shower today I think. I cannot tell you how much am I looking forward to that. Then afterwards we must work like crazy as we have had our best week ever in web design and need to get numerous quotes off and numerous websites set up. If it can just continue like this it will be wonderful.
Mike’s Content Management System is flying off the shelves, you might say, and from my point of view it is an exceptionally lovely and easy to use CMS package to deal with.
We met up with Jenny and Mark of Research Plus on Thursday and had a great meeting and lunch and are absolutely delighted to be redesigning their website. We have known Jenny and Mark since we first set our business up and they have always come up with great ideas for us.
We also met up again with Rhonda Deal of RD Homestaging and should be releasing her new website over the next couple of weeks. Rhonda also is a long standing customer of ours and it is a pleasure to redesign her website.
David Tyrell of Tyrell Therapy has now expanded his business into London and so this week we have updated his website also and Merv of ASAL also wants to expand his website so we have our work cut out over the next few weeks.
Actually reading through that it is obvious that we are getting a lot of return business which is fantastic and means that our original philosophy we drew up when starting the business is actually happening. When we started up we asked people what they disliked about web designers and what they wanted and then we tried to build our business around those principles. You can see what our principles are on our About Us page on the main S3 Web Design website.
This week there has been lots of news about Google so most of my blog posts have been about that. I have also this week redeveloped the SEO4all website and added an SEO blog to that.
Back to work now.
With regard to website design a part of your considerations when it comes to accessibility should be the text size used on your website – ie is your text really large enough for older people and people with sight disabilities to read, AND is there sufficient differential between the text colour and the background colour to make the text readable. An quick and easy way to check this for your website is to use the online tool at AccessKeys which can be found here.
