Shift Learning

Once you’ve completed the work to make your site accessible, you’ll want to use accessibility style guides to ensure that these high standards are maintained. This is particularly important where a website makes claims to W3C compliancy.

With large web teams it can be difficult to ensure that all staff are maintaining the same consistent standards across the whole site and the only way to ensure that this is being done is to create a style guide of the accessibility points that need to be taken into consideration.

What is a style guide?

Our accesssibility style guides provide your staff with clear guidelines on how to deal with different situations in order to ensure that the site remains accessible. All our style guides are produced individually, taking the needs of your particular website into account. We work to ensure that they are concise and user-friendly.

Who is it for?

Accessibility is the responsibility of every member of the web team, including the web designer, developer and editor. Today’s content management systems have allowed non-technical content experts, outside of the web design teams, to write and upload content to your website. With so many people working on your site, a style guide is the only way to ensure that everyone is informed and given the tools and knowledge to maintain your site’s accessibility.
