Why accessibility matters
In an era where the internet is a vital part of daily life, ensuring that your website is accessible to everyone is not just a courtesy – it’s a necessity. With 1 in 5 working adults in the UK having a disability, it has become our aim to increase the accessibility of as many websites as possible, to remove barriers that people with disabilities may face. This allows organisations to reach customers, which previously they were not able to engage with.
The role of AccessAngel
AccessAngel has recently been rebranded to better align with Thriiver’s branding. The toolbar was developed by us to make the internet a more accessible place for everyone. It is an easy-to-use, website accessibility toolbar designed to instantly enhance the usability of any website.
