Web Accessibility Policy

‘The power of the web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect’ - Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director

Thousands of blind, partially sighted and physically impaired people in the UK are now using the Internet to find information and use services that were previously unavailable to them, such as online shopping, banking, news etc from the comfort of their own home. An ordinary computer can be equipped with synthesised speech output or braille display technology to enable people to use the Internet either through sound or by touch. This new technology has the potential to revolutionise the lives of visually impaired people, who until now have been forced to rely on other people for information.

This technology relies on good website development practices, and will only work properly if websites adhere to certain standards. Physically impaired people find many websites unusable because the sites falls below an acceptable standard.

The EurekaStep web experience is designed to provide access to all users, regardless of disability. We are A approved against the W3C WCAG 1.0 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and against US Section 508 guidelines.
