Course programme

Web Development - Accessibility
What are the benefits of attending this course?
Making your website accessible to all, regardless of technical limitations or disability has become a major issue for web designers. Websites designed without taking accessibility into consideration exclude certain sectors of the population, limit your customer base and may ultimately be illegal. The Disability Discrimination Act applies to internet content as much as to other media.
As such it is now important for companies to be aware that they should be complying with guidelines. Upon completing this course you will have gained an important insight into the realistic workings of Accessibility. This will inspire you to evaluate our own systems and bring them in line.

On Mekon Creatives

Provider description
Mekon Creatives specialises in supporting anyone who uses creative software applications to get their job done. As a Quark and Adobe Authorised Training Centre, we provide authorised training, on-site coaching and value-add recruitment services to the design and creative industry. Mekon Creatives is the culmination of our 18-year relationship with Adobe and the design and creative industries. Our unique combination of training, coaching and recruitment has served our customers well and the Mekon Creatives brand builds on our reputation as the leading training and recruitment provider to the design and creative industries. Mekon Creatives offers authorised training services on all Adobe and Quark software at all levels on both Apple Mac and Windows PC at our training centres in London, Surrey, Nottingham and other partner locations across the country, including at client’s premises. We also provide a range of skills training courses for designers and creatives to compliment our Quark and Adobe software courses. We understand that learning is an ongoing process and the lesson does not end when you leave the classroom. To give full value for your training investment, we provide 3 months of post training support by telephone or e-mail, which covers all features and techniques taught during your training course. Full annual support contracts are also available from as little as £250.00 per year. There are times when taking a design or creative team out of the office for a training course is simply not feasible with deadlines approaching. This can be a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the coaching services from Mekon Creatives. The value-add recruitment service from Mekon Creatives includes the usual search and selection of traditional recruitment agencies with the added benefit of successful candidates attending up to three authorised training courses to ensure they are up to date with the latest tools and techniques required by the design and creative industries. This is all covered by a single fixed fee to ensure you get the best return on your recruitment budget.
