An accessible website ensures that all visitors have the same user experience whether they use assistive technology or not. The Technical Textiles website meets the level 1 (and in part level 2) W3C's (Web Accessibility Initiative) standards and guidelines for creating accessible websites.

Using these technologies means that this site is built to last well into the future as well as making the content accessible to people using very old browsers and other alternative browsing devices such as screen-readers and refreshable Braille displays for users who are visually impaired.
