Obeying the letter of the law and avoiding lawsuits isn't enough. Many strictly legal promotional strategies invade privacy, disrupt customers' lives, or deny access. A company that wants to encourage customer loyalty and generate positive feedback needs to be ethically responsible. Access IssuesMany current Internet tachnologies can be barriers to the differently abled. Blind users using screen-reading software cannot read pages that present vital information using graphics only. Many more users with reduced vision will have trouble with small, fixed size fonts. Users who need to rely on alternative browsers will be locked out of web sites that design for recent versions of Internet Explorer or Netscape only. The Internet can be a wonderful accessibility tool for people with disabilities, because information can be made available in multiple formats. Or it can be yet another collection of barriers.

Our site is fully navigable with or without JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets, and images, and has been tested in low-end browsers such as lynx.
