Smoothie Design accessibility

Creating and testing our sites for accessibility

Smoothie Design is committed to website accessibility. We are working towards building this website to meet the standart of the Level Two (AA) recommendations made by the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, and some of the checkpoints from Level Three. We will also regularly check the accessibility our sites as part of an ongoing development process.

Diversity of our web users

At Smoothie Design we want to be as inclusive as we can. Our central objective is users finding our site accessible and usable in practice.  As with all sites we create, attention to the accessibility of the code and extensive end user testing ensures that this is the case.

Help in making our website look the way you want

My Web My Way was developed by AbilityNet and the BBC as a source of accessibility help for all computer users.  It includes information on changing not only the colours and text size and style of our website, but will explain how these changes can be made to affect every site you visit if you wish.

Browsealoud

You can also make our website talk by downloading the free text to speech software BrowseAloud. Simply install it and then move your mouse over any text, link, picture or button and BrowseAloud will speak it to you. The download is approximately 2.5Mb.

Feedback

We welcome feedback on the accessibility and usability of our website.  If you have had any problems or any issues while using our site, smoothie design would like to hear about it!
