digital accessibility

Are your online texts accessible to people with functional illiteracy? Can people who are colourblind navigate your site?

We’ve seen many websites that miss the boat when it comes to digital accessibility, thereby missing the opportunity to to give millions of visitors a better experience. You wouldn’t let that happen, would you?

We’ll teach you how to improve your website’s digital accessibility!

Why you want to be digitally accessible

If your website isn’t digitally accessible, you’ll miss out on a lot of opportunities. So don’t wait, start improving today. Your digital future will be brighter!

  1. You’ll reach a larger audience
    In the Netherlands, about 2 million people have a disability. You might miss out on this group of visitors.
  2. Your website will be easier to find in search engines
    Not just your visitors, but Google as well can better understand the information on your website.
  3. Your website is less prone to errors
    With the right HTML-structure and good technology, you’ll create a solid base for an accessible website and for future updates.
  4. Are you (semi-)government? Then you’ll have to!
    From september 2020 onwards, all government websites have to be digitally accessible. That is a legal requirement. We’d love to help you with meeting the requirements.
  5. Not a government agency? We still recommend it.
    Commercial websites have to be as accessible as possible, too. Citizens have the right to appeal to the Equal Treatment Act (Wet gelijke behandeling op grond van handicap of chronische ziekte) if your website is insufficiently accessible. So, let’s get to work!

Your website is easier to find in Google

Search engine crawlers - like those used by Google - can’t see, hear or use a mouse. An accessible website doesn’t just make your human visitors happy, but Google too. A straight-foward structure and clear content aid in getting your website a higher ranking in search engines.

How do you make your website accessible?

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are a globally accepted standard for accessible websites. It contains advice on how to use text, media, design and technology. How do you apply them? We’d love to explain it to you in our white paper or during a call with our advisors. You can reach us at (+31) 71 528 0002.

First aid for digital accessibility

Don’t have time or the right people to make your website or app digitally accessible? Our content specialists would love to advise. Or, give you a hand in applying the guidelines. In-house or remotely.

How do we do that? Our content managers can build well-structured pages that adhere to the guidelines, for example. Or, our copywriters can optimise the language used on your website. They’ll rewrite your content to language level B1: an easier to understand way of writing that 80% of people can read.
