Optimalworks wins the Accessites.org award
written by Craig, 2 February 2008
this was the best site we’ve had the opportunity to review for a long time and we believe that the award level we decided upon expresses that
The Optimalworks.net website has received the Accessites.org “Quality Universal Design” award.
Some points raised:
- a strong design that was both bright and cheerful
- visuals were big, bold and clear with a large readable font size and good use of supporting images/icons
- cross-browser performance was particularly impressive with pages rendering almost faultlessly in every browser
- testing at a number of different screen sizes also hinted at a design that was elastic enough to deal with most situations
- we switched images off and, to our surprise and delight, the site still looked good
- extensive meta text - another demonstration of good attention to detail
- the tab order was exactly as expected given the visual display
- keyboard navigation was an absolute breeze … the kind of keyboard friendly site that should be the norm - not the exception
All our websites are built to the same level of quality. Please contact us if you require a new website or an impartial review of your existing site.
