HumanWare's Accessible Online Store

Sosign Interactive worked with HumanWare to launch a new eCommerce website accessible to people with disabilities. HumanWare.com offers visitors, including the blind, from the US, Canada, Europe and Australia online purchasing options for a wide range of products in their own currency. The previous eCommerce platform was kept, with significant performance enhancements and the development of new features. In addition to a redesigned appearance and an optimized presentation of HumanWare products, this new website provides enhanced accessibility for visitors who are blind or have limited access to web content. HumanWare.com provide several accessibility features, which include: a high contrast color selector, keyboard shortcuts to key sections and descriptions of images. The redesign of the architecture and the way content is displayed also contributes to increased accessibility.HumanWare.com is part of a trend towards the creation of more accessible websites for everyone. We have since encouraged existing online stores to make their websites more accessible to people with disabilities, as they represent a growing segment of visitors and online shoppers.
