Is your site user friendly? We've all heard that term a thousand times - but what does usability really mean? And does it really matter? The answer is YES, it absolutely matters. Think about your own behavior when you visit a web site.

• Do you get annoyed if a page loads to slowly?
• Do you leave and go to another company's web site if it is too hard to find what you're looking for or if you're forced to register to access any product or service information?
• Have you abandoned a partially filled shopping cart because the process took too long or was too confusing to complete?
• Have you ever been frustrated by lousy on site search results?
• Have you quickly left a site because of overbearing audio or animations?

These are only a few of the many issues to consider relative to your site's usability. It sounds like such a simple concept, but in practice it is often poorly executed. The good news is, usability is more of a science than an art and issues can usually be corrected relatively quickly. Site performance and traffic can improve dramatically by improving the user experience through sound usability planning, testing and implementation.

You might be surprised to find out that it, in fact, is not accessible to visitors who use assistive technologies to view (or most often listen to) web sites. There are many factors that determine a site's accessibility and compliance with the current Federal Access Board's Guidelines for Accessibility (Section 508). Section 508 currently applies to federal agency web sites, with many states adopting the same standards. Its wider adoption by non-governmental web sites is being strongly encouraged.

We can test your site and compile a detailed report outlining all non-compliant areas of your site. We can also correct these issues to make your site fully compliant with the current regulations and guidelines.
