However a campaign has recently been launched to bring to light an often ignored issue, the issue of website accessibility for the disabled. Many simply think of the internet of being something you learn to use, but forget about those who may physically be unable to use it in one way or another.

A new website called ‘Fix The Web’ has been unveiled as part of the campaign to get more of the web accessible for those with disabilities. On the website, people who have encountered problems with a website can report the website, and the problem, and a group of volunteers at Fix The Web will then contact the website owners to inform them of the issue and push for it to be resolved.

Some of the most common web accessibility issues include:

• Sites incompatible to screen readers
• Small or difficult to read text
• Websites which cannot be used without a mouse
• Busy and distracting layouts

A shocking statistic released by the ‘World Wide Web Consortium’ is that only 19% of websites meet the minimum standard for web accessibility.

Whilst no one is completely innocent when it comes to web accessibility for the disabled,  at Dijitul we take steps to ensure that our websites can be accessed and used by all as easily as possible.

As part of every build and SEO we do, we ensure that we adhere to the Web Accessibility Initiative and implement several accessibility measures, including:

• Alt text on pictures so that screen readers can read them
• We use only plain text, not flash, so that whole websites are screen reader compatible
• We HATE busy and distracting backgrounds, so we simple do not make them!

For more information and help regarding easily accessible web design, give us a call on 01623 650333, or visit our web design website.

However, unlike many trades (painting cars springs to mind) if you buy a cheap website, it should work and appear cheap – it should simply have less features than the next package up.

We offer websites for £250 + vat – its our lowest priced package, and we basically ask the customer to supply content, images, a logo and some colour choices, and we take care of the rest.

So far we have done two of these sites for different customers and they have both been happy with the websites first time – so much so one has ordered another straight away.

Every website we do uses the wordrpess framework, and is totally scalable – so if these guys want to upgrade at a later date they can, and keep their existing content and page structure in place therefore retainninig all search engine entries

If your after basic low cost web site design then give us a call on 01623 650 333 or send us an email

Opens the loading screen and then just crashes?

Maybe you’ve installed a bad brush or pattern or fx?

The quickest and easiest way to get yourself back up and running again with Photoshop is by resetting the Settings File.

For PC Users Simply hold down CTRL+SHIFT+ALT and whilst holding down open Photoshop.

For Evil Mac Users Simply hold down SHIFT+COMMAND+OPTION and whilst holding these down open Photoshop.

Photoshop will then ask you if you’d like to delete your Settings file, obviously click yes!

Job done! Remember reinstalling/repairing photoshop will NOT clear your settings file so try this first
