Welcome to IngServ, the answer to all your web design needs.

We specialise in creating accessible web sites with usability in mind. Why is this important? UK organisations with web sites have been legally obliged to make them disabled-friendly since 1999. Currently there are more than 90% of web sites that pose barriers to disabled people.

With this in mind we create our sites using the latest web standards.


How do your VISITORS benefit from Web Standards?

  • Files will download faster
  • Content is accessible to a wider range of users (normal users, blind users, vision impaired users, dyslexic users, motor skill impaired users etc)
  • Content is accessible to a wider range of devices (screen readers, browsers, text based browsers, hand-helds, printers, mobiles etc)
  • Allows users to customise site appearance
  • Provides print friendly versions for all pages

How do YOU benefit from Web Standards?

  • Easier to maintain
  • Cheaper hosting costs (less code)
  • Better search engine ranking
  • Content can be restyled easily without changing code
  • Provides users with customisation
  • Provides print versions without replicating content
  • Improves accessibility

The Disability Rights Commission also points out that businesses with accessible web sites are in a much better position to tap into the estimated £80bn spent by people with disabilities every year.

  • There are 8.6 million registered disabled people in the UK, totaling 14% of the population (source: DRC)
  • One in 12 men, and one in 200 women, has some form of colour blindness, totaling 9% of the UK population (source: Institution of Electrical Engineers)
  • Two million UK residents have a sight problem -- that’s 4% of the population (source: RNIB)
  • There are 12 million people aged 60 or over -- some 21% of the UK population (source: UK government)

Beyond Disabilities

  • Users on slow connections regularly turn images off to enable a quicker download time. Some browsers, such as the text-only Lynx browser, do not display images at all.
  • Not every user has downloaded the latest Flash plug-in that is needed to view the site. Additionally, the download time on Flash web sites is often so long that low bandwidth users lose patience and don’t even wait to see the content.
  • JavaScript is unsupported by about 4% of Web users, either because they’ve turned it off to prevent pop-up ads, or because their browsers don’t support it.
  • WebTV, mobile phones, and PDAs have limited support for large images, Flash and JavaScript.

At the end of the day it’s simple, designing with web standards means lower costs, reduced production time, and increased accessibility for more users and devices.
