Reston, VA (PRWEB) April 28, 2006
Deque Systems, working at the forefront of innovative solutions for web accessibility, security, privacy and quality, has relaunched its corporate website, using the opportunity to not only present a fresh new look into its web compliance products and services but also to exemplify the latest and best practices for accessible website design to serve people with disabilities.
“Choosing to create the site using Cascading Style Sheets was at the core of the redesign concept,” stated Deque Systems Media Director Mary McCormick. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language for the Web intended by its creators, the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C), to be a recommendation and alternative to table-based layouts.
“There are clear advantages from a design standpoint alone,” McCormick explained, “as updating and maintenance time spent on a website are greatly reduced.”
Beyond these initial benefits, the separation of content from presentation that style sheets enable is a key factor in site accessibility to all Web users, including those with disabilities.
Using CSS also makes good business sense. When Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) is incorporated, it opens up enumerable possibilities in terms of evolving Internet business-to-business applications. These applications, which include the need to deliver experiences consistent across other channels such as mobile devices and interactive media are being realized and continue to grow.
Research indicates that an accessible website is on average 35% quicker and easier to use than an inaccessible website (‘The Web - Access and Inclusion for Disabled People’ DRC report 14 April 2004)—another compelling reason to check out Deque’s new website design at http://www.deque.com.
