CREATING ACCESSIBLE WEB SITES

Neville Clarence Technologies (Pty) Ltd. is dedicated to making our web site fully accessible to partially sighted, blind and deaf-blind users alike. Our goal is to become a model of accessible design for other African web sites! Good accessible web site design not only demands full access to all available information and features, but also requires that such information is presented in a logical, easy to locate order using terminology that is easily understood by first-time visitors. Should you feel for some reason that the Neville Clarence Technologies (Pty) Ltd. site does not meet our own criteria, then please contact us immediately in order that your suggestions can be implimented without delay.
