We ensure that the end system works for as many users as possible, particularly for those with vision deficiencies, learning difficulties, mobility impairments and where multi-lingual solutions are required.
In addition to our in-house access consultants, we work with both local and national access groups and charities, such as the Royal National Institute of Blind People, to incorporate expert advice on a regular basis.
This feeds into all aspects of the design from typeface selection and display sizes, colour contrasts, content selection and general graphical layouts, through to sign placement considerations such as lighting levels, footway widths, gradients and sightlines.
