Enterprise Content Management

Enterprise Content management systems have traditionally struggled to achieve accessibility, let alone being accessible to W3C Priority 2 standards. Ecru's enterprise content management system is used by commercial and governmental organisations in the UK because it delivers measurably accessible websites, on time and on budget. We have a particular view of content management at Ecru, that the people who manage their websites should not be expected to have technical skills, and this means that they have a direct publishing connection with their audience.

Before Ecru builds your website we establish your objectives for accessibility. There are, after all, many factors that need to be taken into consideration, including branding, dynamism, and creativity. The realisation that many businesses have made is that accessibility is not just a legal and moral requirement, it allows your business to interact with members of our community who have equal rights with those who have no difficulty browsing the web.

Corporate responsibility is no longer a luxury for companies. In today's global economy, it is crucial for companies to embrace social and environmental responsibility in order that they meet the demands of their investors, consumers, employees, and communities they serve.

Accessible content management systems

Exciting and interesting accessible websites can be created by innovative and stimulating web designers but what happens when content management technology comes in to play? The real skill in the development of innovative content management system technology is that the needs of disabled people to access your website content should not be sacrificed because you are delivering dynamic content to your website visitors.

This is where new technology is needed, and a careful attention to detail in implementing W3C compliant usable and accessible websites.

Graphics enhance accessibility by providing visual cues regarding the meaning and organization of website content. These visual cues help people understand the content better, increasing the accessibility of the content. Although people who are blind aren't able to view the visible aspects of graphics, but that is not a problem because website developers can provide alternative text (alt text) that allows blind users to gain access to the content of graphics with their screen reader software. The result is a Web site that looks fantastic, is easier to understand, and which is still accessible to people who can't see the visual elements. All this while retaining brand value and measurable marketing performance.
