Our Approach to Accessibility

Access Keys is a project by Venturonet, Ltd. and Broadbent & Co.

Venturonet , Ltd. are specialists in the field of web design and search engine optimisation and bring a wealth of knowledge about building successfully optimised websites using standards compliant design.

Broadbent & Co.. are specialists in the field of disability assessments for students and bring 25 years of experience in education and assessments with expertise in creating a physical environment in which to help each individual achieve their full potential.

Our combined skills mean that we have an understanding of the technical and business aspects of running a commercial website from both the design and content management perspectives as well as a thorough knowledge of the intricacies of balancing user friendly design with the requirements of search engine optimisation. We also understand the needs of users with various types and levels of disability and various levels of experience with a computer and on the internet as well as the obstacles they face when confronted with inaccessible design.

By making use of our understanding of both web design and the needs of disabled users we can offer a real world assessment of your website which will help you balance your business needs with the legal requirements of complying with the DDA in order to make your website accessible to as many users as possible.

With Access Keys we intend to build a useful resource to make it easier for people with disabilities to find what they need online while building awareness about the importance of accessible design and the benefits to both businesses and consumers alike.
