Socially responsible organizations are looking beyond design to make their websites fully accessible, with good corporate citizenship and government accountability constituting two of the driving forces.
This emerging movement is being inaugurated through the formation of a Founders Club in association with March of Dimes Canada. As high profile early adopters, these organizations will generate awareness of the unprecedented accessibility of their sites which promises to vault them to standard-setting industry positions on the world stage.
Each Founders Club member will also serve as a sponsor underwriting the cost of making a disability resource organization's online environment accessible. They will demonstrate what is possible and lead by example.
This entire network of sites is being enabled without any IT integration, internal support or traditional multi-station software licensing issues, for it is a turnkey, subscription-based undertaking. It signals the commitment of Founders Club members to building an inclusive society and to becoming truly barrier-free.
