10% of the UK population has a disability. Yet over 90% of UK business and e-commerce sites are not accessible to disabled users. That's a big chunk of potential sales lost through complacency. Or worst, ignorance. At I-COM, our web design specialists can help make your site accessible to everyone. You can stay one step ahead of the competition and open up your business to even more customers.
I-COM know how important website accessibility is. It's not just about boosting your sales - it's the law. An accessible website would show that your company is not 'deliberately ignoring' disabled people; as described in The Disability Discrimination Act, Chapter 50, which deals with communication and information services:
'It is unlawful for a provider of services to discriminate against a disabled person in refusing to provide, or deliberately not providing, to the disabled person any service which he provides, or is prepared to provide, to members of the public.'
Serious stuff. But disabled people in the UK have a disposable annual income of more than £50 million. Their family and friends have spending power of over £100 Million. That's serious money. Money that's as good as anyone else's - and certainly good for your business. I-COM web design accessibly solutions can help you pocket that cash.
You can't afford to ignore disabled people. You need a site that's easy to navigate with key strokes, for the motor-impaired who find it difficult to use a mouse; text tags to describe images that can't be read with Braille displays; and good contrast on background text.
The I-COM web design team work with you to make your website accessible. We'll tell you the do's and don'ts and show you how to un-tap your profit potential in this lucrative market.
