Defacto helps you meet your UK disability obligations
Defacto helps you meet your obligations under UK disability legislation. Defacto actively encourages you to create content that maintains the accessibility of your website. For example, when you add an image to your website through Defacto, you are automatically prompted to add alternative text (read Nomensa's article about Alternative Text). Other examples of how Defacto encourages you to maintain your website's accessibility include:
- Link management tool – when pages are removed from your website, Defacto will automatically update links for you;
- Customised WYSIWYG editor – the look and feel of your website will be dictated from your accessible templates, therefore, website editors can only create content that will be accessible and in line with your brand;
- Easy to update and therefore easier to communicate with your citizens. The greater the accessibility of your website the broader the range of people your organisation can reach.
