Website Accessibility
An accessible web is a priority for carbonhouse.
Our goal is solutions that strive to reach the widest audience regardless of disability. We work with clients throughout the process to educate them on many aspects of WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) sets the main international best practices for the World Wide Web and its accessibility. Every new website carbonhouse creates includes features that help clients meet WCAG 2.0 AA guidelines.

Operable
Interface forms, controls, and navigation are operable.
Understandable
Content and interface are understandable.
Robust
Content can be used reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
