World Standards Day 2010
October 14th is World Standards Day: this year's theme is making the world accessible for all, which we're passionate about (both personally and as a company).
Over 650 million people globally are affected by some kind of disability, and one quarter of the world population is over 60, so accessible products and services have a huge audience.
Remember, accessibility benefits everyone:
- Wheelchair ramps in buildings make them easier to get into with prams.
- If you're carrying heavy luggage, accessible public transport is easier to use.
- Accessible websites are easier to find on search engines (because their graphical content is available as text).
