Some examples of our work with web accessibility
What is web accessibility?
Web accessibility refers to the ability to access the site and its contents for all persons regardless of disability (physical, intellectual or technical) they have or which arise from the context of use (technological and environmental). This quality is closely related to usability.
When websites are designed with accessibility, all users can have equal access to the content. For example, when a site has a semantically correct XHTML code, provides an equivalent alternative text to images and links are given a meaningful name, this helps blind users using screen readers or Braille lines to access content . When videos have subtitles, users with hearing difficulties can fully understand. If the content is written in simple language and illustrated with diagrams and animations, users with dyslexia or learning difficulties are better able to understand them.
If the text size is large enough, users with visual impairments can read without difficulty. Similarly, the size of the buttons or the active areas can facilitate their appropriate use to users who can not control the mouse precisely. If avoiding actions that depend on a particular device (pressing a key, click with the mouse) the user can choose the most appropriate device.
These guidelines are divided into three blocks:
Content Accessibility Guidelines on the Web (WCAG)
Are aimed at webmasters and show how to make the site's content is accessible.
Accessibility Guidelines for authoring tools (ATAG)
Are aimed at developers of software used by webmasters for these programs facilitate the creation of accessible sites.
Accessibility Guidelines for User Agent (UAAG)
Are aimed at developers of user agents (browsers and the like), so that these programs provide all users access to Web sites.

Reduces development costs and maintenance while initially learning to make an accessible website with a cost (as a cost to learn to use any new technology), once we have the knowledge, the cost of developing and maintaining a website is less accessible than against a non-accessible, and that an accessible website is a page well done, less prone to contain errors and easier to update.
Reduce the load time of web pages and web server load: to separate the content of the information on the submission of a CSS website through a reduction in the size of Web pages and thus reduces the time Load web pages.
