Another month gone… For all those avid readers of the G-Spot you’ll notice that we let one slide through our slippery fingers. Tut – tut. But alas, this edition is packed full of website excitement.
Now, to save on the big spiel about W3C accessibility and whats involved (we’ve done it to death), all I’m going to say is WE PASSED! Wahooo!
Our first W3C WCAG 1.0 compliant site for our long time client CBOnline not only conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, but the backend content management system also conforms to the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines.
Not only did we pass, but we received a nice pat on the back from Vision Australia, who conducted the compliance audit. Here’s what they had to say:
“CBOnline and their developers are to be congratulated on their implementation of the WCAG 1.0 guidelines. It is obvious that a concerted effort has been made to ensure that the CBOnline Website and Administration site conform to the WCAG guidelines both technically and practically.” and…
“This site is one of the best conforming that we have seen in some time. We will be adding your site to our “Exemplary Sites” list if you don’t mind.”
So there you have it! – as if we’d mind!
Last week saw one of our most loved employees leave us, off to Byron Bay to live the life of a tree hugging hippy. God Bless. Thanks for all your hard work Nick – greatly appreciated.
So his departure has left us in a little hole – but not for long, we’ve got 2 new members of staff coming into the family next week, Michelle Cave will be filling Nick’s shoes, doing our Marketing & Communications and young Nathan Cooper will be bringing his outstanding talents to the Graphics Department.
We’ve recently completed the Special Lights website in time for the DesignEX exhibition in Sydney. Keep a watch out for this one over time as there’s a heap more coming.
There’s some very exciting happenings coming up for Gruden in the next few months, if we were a public company – I’d be saying ‘buy buy buy’ but, we’re not. So if you don’t hear about us – talk about us.!
How sad….. till next time.!
