Cerebral Palsy Alliance have been announced as the Winners of the 'Best Overall Accessibility' website, as part of the Australian Web Awards.
In striving for community engagement, Cerebral Palsy Alliance has produced a website which is rich in a variety of content. Audio-visual content is made accessible to Deaf and hearing impaired users through closed captions.
"We're delighted that there's a growing recognition of the importance of web accessibility in Australia," said Robyn Cummins, Manager of the Communication Design Team at Cerebral Palsy Alliance." With one in five Australians with a disability and a rapidly ageing population, it should be on every organisation's agenda."
"We built the Cerebral Palsy Alliance website to meet the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0 AA). There are so many small things that you can do that make a big difference for someone with a mobility or vision impairment. At the end of the day, good usability and accessibility benefits everyone."
