Business management software supplierCOA Solutionshas enhancedits websiteto make it easier forblind and partially sighted peopleto
use.
The enhancements to make the site work with text-to-speech tools
that read out the contents of web pages are part of a redesign of
the company's website that is aimed at making relevant product
information easier to find.
The redesigned website groups information by sector and includes
RSS functionality for notifying users automatically when content is
updated.
Mark Thompson, managing director of COA solutions, said, "By
addressing all elements of the user experience, we hope that
customers will find it easier to interact with us."
Local government came under criticism from the Society of
Information Technology Management (Socitm) earlier this year when a
report found only 8% of local government websites conformed with
internationally recognised Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines.
