Accessible Web Design & Consulting
The philosophy of accessible web design is simple: web sites are for everybody, regardless of personal limitations.
Web accessibility applies to users of text-based browsers, handheld devices, learning disabilities, users with low or no vision, visitors with limited mobility and countless others.
An effective design should be usable by everybody who visits your site.
Your business should have a web site which will keep visitors coming back — and making sure your site visitors can use your site successfully the first time they visit is an important step towards success.

Design Philosophy
Effective web design is grounded in a thorough understanding of
- Information Architecture,
- Web site usability,
- Persuasive Design,
- Search Engine Friendly Design, and
- Consistent application of web standards and accessibility guidelines.
I am committed to a conscientious application of web standards, and keep close tabs on current views on best practices in standards application. At all times I will strive to make every site accessible to all users, regardless of browser, operating system, physical disability, or other complications which your users might experience.
