At Studio 24 Ltd we're on a mission to build a better web. And we want to take you with us! That's why we've written a guide to accessible content. https://lnkd.in/eHQnP7Dq Now whenever you add content to your website you'll have a handy reference point if you want to check you're doing it in an accessible way. We cover: - Text content - Links - Images and alternative text - Audio and video content - Animations - Iframes - Colour contrast - Tables - Files and documents Have a look: https://lnkd.in/eHQnP7Dq If you have any feedback, we'd love to hear it! #Accessibility #WebsiteDesign #WebsiteDevelopment #Content #UserExperience

Uncovering the UK’s hidden arts and humanities research infrastructure In this new article for Wonkhe, The School of Advanced Study, University of London's Professor Jo Fox talks through mapping our little-discussed national arts and humanities research infrastructure: "Mapping the Arts and Humanities is an interactive map of arts and humanities institutes, centres, networks and facilities, launched last month. Featuring over 3,000 pieces of infrastructure that support arts and humanities research, the map makes it easier for users to discover and connect with research activity across the UK and know what is happening in their region and fields. The map has started with the hidden infrastructures of collaboration: but will move on in its next phase to map libraries, archives, museums and virtual resources. The project has become so much more than the map itself. It has become a portal through which we can evaluate the health of the arts and humanities research landscape, and it has raised wider questions about how we optimise support for research across the UK."

Web accessibility is all about making sure as many people as possible can use your website. Do you know how accessible your website is? Accessibility is at the heart of what we do at Studio 24 Ltd. By championing an accessible web, we help make sure that nobody is left behind. But we also realise making your website accessible can be daunting. That’s why we have put together a single page accessibility review service. The review is perfect for: - Digital Managers who are unsure how accessible their website is. - Content editors who want reassurance that they are adding content in an accessible way. - Marketing Managers who want to know that all visitors to the website are having a good experience. - Business owners who care about accessibility and want to make it more of a priority, even if they don’t know much about it. Studio 24’s accessibility experts will review your website page and: - identify where you have high-impact issues i.e. issues that are causing the biggest barriers to accessibility - explain the problem these issues cause for your website visitors - offer recommendations on how to fix them. We’ll give you the knowledge and confidence to tackle common accessibility issues yourself so you will see an immediate improvement on your website. An accessible website creates a better user experience for everybody.

Studio 24 Ltd is a finalist in the Cambridge Independent Science and Technology Awards! We are nominated in the Tech for Good category for our work with CBM Global Disability Inclusion. When disasters happen (e.g. flood, earthquake, or war) people with disabilities are often among the worst affected and the last to receive help. The Humanitarian Hands on Tool (HHoT) and the Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (i-DRR) Hands on Tool are two ground-breaking mobile apps to help people with disabilities access life-saving relief services during conflict, disaster, and emergencies. The tools are free, easy to use, fully accessible and the first applications of their kind. The tools are used by CBM staff, local partners and agencies including Oxfam, Care and World Vision around the world. We're really looking forward to the ceremony on Thursday 18th May where we can meet the other finalists and celebrate all the innovation taking place in Cambridge.
