Goals
Open Interface were commissioned to develop highly accessible websites templates to meet the needs of the Irish consumer. We designed both the public and corporate sites for the National Consumer Agency (NCA).
Our Solution
We designed the NCA website and provided the site technology integrator (pTools) with the graphics and accessible templates for the NCA website.
- For both sites templates were built and tested by Open Interface specialists. The site was built using open standards (XHTML 1.0, CSS 2), and is fully compliance to WAI Level 2 and a number of WAI Level 3 checkpoints. The sites features many innovative accessibility features including the ability to switch to various styles of presentation using style sheets.
- We also performed an accessibility audit of the NCA website after it was built by pTools.
