Most organizations understand the importance of having an accessible web site, but few fully understand all of the issues, and even fewer have the expertise to assign to an initiative. The AlwaysAccessible® Network is a center of affordable resources designed to guide, accelerate, and simplify an organization’s web accessibility initiative.
The first resource found within the AlwaysAccessible® Network is the AlwaysAccessible® Framework. The AlwaysAccessible® Framework defines web accessibility in terms of a life cycle of activities. The activities of the accessibility life cycle are integrated directly into the existing web practices of an organization. Each activity is supported by well-defined projects that feature easy to use methodologies and template deliverables. Subscribers to the AlwaysAccessible® Network use the AlwaysAccessible® Framework to guide their web accessibility initiative.
The second resource found within the AlwaysAccessible® Network is a collection of AlwaysAccessible® Applications. AlwaysAccessible® Applications are fully accessible web services that easily integrate with an existing web site using standard HTML hyperlinks. AlwaysAccessible® Applications instantly provide existing web sites with fully accessible features such as help, feedback, message boards, employment listings, electronic commerce, and site personalization. The AlwaysAccessible® Applications are affordable solutions that accelerate the accessibility initiatives of our subscribers.
The third resource found within the AlwaysAccessible® Network is the AlwaysAccessible® Community. The AlwaysAccessible® Community provides subscribers with access to accessibility experts. Some of our experts are professionals providing accessibility products and services.Other members of the community are daily users of assistive technology.
