Providing Website Accessiblity Expertise for the Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing Minnesotans
Wayzata, MN (June 4, 2008) – AllOut Marketing is proud to announce it will provide website consulting services to the Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing Minnesotans (MCDHH). The focus is to improve accessibility for deaf and deafblind audiences for the upcoming MCDHH website redesign.
With approximately 80 percent of the United States population having access to the internet, the internet is now an essential communication tool. However, much of the content on the internet is not accessible to deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing audiences. MCDHH champions equal access to communication for Minnesota residents who are deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing so it is imperative that the MCDHH website be fully accessible to its users.
“AllOut Marketing was recommended because of the high quality websites that AllOut Marketing designs and develops and because Alicia Lane, Website Director, has intimate knowledge of the deaf and deafblind community, said Mary Hartnett, Executive Director of the Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing Minnesotans. We are very pleased to be collaborating with Alicia and the AllOut Marketing team.”
“It is an honor that MCDHH selected AllOut Marketing for this important project. We will ensure that the new MCDHH website is barrier free for its members by being accessible to the deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing audiences,” said Ruth Lane, President of AllOut Marketing.
