Do Out of the Trees Make Accessible Web Sites?

We don't consider accessibilty to be optional — it makes obvious sense to ensure your site can be used by the widest possible range of people. Therefore, we build sites to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards and UK legal requirements, and incorporate features to ensure that every visitor can access and use your web site.

The Web Accessibility Initiative of the W3C has published a set of guidelines which define accessibility, organised into three priority levels. All sites we design meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Level-A Conformance (the minimum required for a site to be considered accessible), and most meet the most-stringent criteria: Triple A-Conformance.

If you're looking for a professional web designer, ask the potential candidates about accessibility. If they have no idea of what you're talking about, find someone else. You'd be amazed at how many 'web designers' have no understanding of the underlying principles involved in building a website.
