WiderWeb the Web Site Accessibility Service Now Available For Immediate Webmaster and ISP Deployments
WiderWeb is a managed service enabling web site accessibility automatically and immediately for web site owners. Web masters who sign up for the service may route page requests through WiderWeb to deliver an accessible version of their actual site, transcoded in real time. This enables web sites to quickly and easily provide accessibility meeting both user demand and legislative requirements.
(PRWEB) October 13, 2004 -- What is the problem?
The UK's Disability Discrimination Act requires that all web sites be made accessible to people with disabilities, for which the W3C standards body has issued clear deployment guidelines. Unfortunately these are as yet poorly understood and costly to implement so compliance has been historically poor. To ease this problem the WiderWeb web accessibility service has been developed.
How does WiderWeb work?
WiderWeb works by web site owners placing a link for easy access on the home page, directing page requests through WiderWeb. WiderWeb then requests a page on the users behalf and translates it into an accessible version before delivering the page back to the user. Subsequent page requests in the session are then automatically directed through the gateway.
How do I sign up?
A simple monthly fee enables web sites to be enabled on WiderWeb. We offer a range of packages to suit both large and small companies, from a single site through to a large group of sites.
What if I'm a Web Host provider?
With WiderWeb accessibility can now be aided by the web hosting industry itself. Moore Innovations can provide a version of WiderWeb to be run by web hosting companies themselves, setup is simple and administration can then be completely automated.
