Building Accessible Websites
Websites for your charity, school, college or business.
"Progress is the activity of today and the assurance of tommorrow" Ralph Waldo Emerson
Welcome back to our website! As you can see we have made a few changes around the place.
We have been busy developing accessible components for open source content management systems.
We have taken on new staff members Zoe and Frank and have moved to our new office in the centre of Exeter.
None of the above could have taken place without support from our clients. So a 'big thank you' to all our clients who continue to recommend our services to others.
We are here to help

Accessible Video Development
SensoryStore has recently been working on the integration of the Longtail JW Player into Joomla with great results. We now have the ability to provide our clients with an accessible video player placed directly on their website.
Accessibility is of great importance to us and our work and as such we have worked hard on enabling our clients to add both captions and audio descriptions to their videos. The videos can be played both directly from their own website or using YouTube as a host.
Along with the video playing functionality we can use the player to play audio clips and sounds files which also have the caption functionality.
We now aim to continue moving forward and to work on even more accessible functionality for our clients to help them uphold the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.
