The Borders Talking Newspaper
This is a recent charity website we did for the Borders Talking Newspaper based in Berwick Upon Tweed. The Borders Talking Newspaper is a free local weekly news and information service for anyone who cannot see to read or cannot hold their local newspapers.

The challenge of this project from our point of view was to accomplish the following:

• The font sizes and colours had to be adjustable on every page by the visitor
• The visitor had to be no more than a couple of clicks away from anything
• Audio had to be easy to listen to
• The website had to be built by the charities website guidelines
• The pages had to be readable by screen reading software
• The BTN organisation wanted to update and maintain the website in house every week

We achieved all the above in what turned out to be something of a pioneering website which set the standard for all

Here are a few comments from visitors:

‘As one who has been a bit critical of some websites in the past,
may I say that this one is excellent. The layout, accessibility and browser compatibility are exemplary."

" Got around to visiting your website just now and I must congratulate you on it.
It looks excellent and I think the content and navigation is first class.
I particularly like the section for Volunteering showing working pictures of what you do."

"Most impressive, The web site is excellent, no rubbish and misleading links.
It is very informative, the speech is very good and the links links table was brilliant.
I feel that everybody who is working to produce this should be congratulated and the
visually impaired people of the Borders area are very lucky in having such an informative
and well put together accessible site."
