Accessibility of the website

 

An accessible website is a website allowing people with disabilities and the elderly to browse the site as efficiently and enjoyably as all other users. Approximately 20 to 25 percent of the population have difficulties using the internet and could benefit from more accessible online content, according to a study conducted in 2003 by Microsoft.

 

BDO believes in, and acts to promote, equal opportunities on cyberspace for people with various disabilities and for people who use assistive technology when using a computer.
