Accessibility isn't just a buzzword any more - it's a necessity. You work with diverse audiences, so we challenge ourselves to create work that meets all your people's needs.

We believe that something created to be easy to read needn't be ugly. In fact, great design and accessibility go hand in hand; thinking about accessibility results in work that's easier to navigate for everyone. Why not talk to us and find out more?

Dyslexia
This website is designed to be dyslexia-friendly: pure black on white text often results in letters 'dancing across the page'. Instead, we've lowered the contrast just a touch and used softer colours. The same effect can be achieved if you need to photocopy by using a very soft pastel coloured paper, such as cream or a light yellow. To make the words read more smoothly, we've used a serif typeface, and sans serif to separate headlines.

Partial sight
Headlines should be short and visible, and body text should be large enough to read without squinting. Opening up the leading (the gap between each line) can breathe a little air into blocks of type. Contrast is very important, too: we like using white text on a dark background to ping titles off the page. And that itself contrasts with the dark-on-light standard of body text.

Blindness
We can't make braille look pretty yet, but we keep all our web work open to screen-readers. All pages are keyworded and properly titled, and all images are ALT tagged with descriptions. We will only use Flash where it enhances standard web media, rather than as a glitzy 'get out of jail free card' to cover up communication lacking in substance.

Red/Green colour-blindness
When someone at Microsoft thought it was clever to make the default graph colours on Excel red and green, they'd obviously never met someone with red/green colour-blindness. We avoid contrasting these two colours in information critical applications.
