Hey Resham & Marcin

I have had a look at a few non-profitable organisations. I feel that ‘Scope’ could be used as our project. I’ve been thinking about this type of organisations, because I have a sibling who is disabled and have worked with many disabled members of the community.

I know many people that suffer from different disabilities such as impairment in sensory, cognitive and motor skills. The purpose of this project will help support a small organisation that deal with these special needs users. We can conduct some research into different special needs websites. I’ve already looked at websites such as ‘Scope’ and ‘Disability Now’.

Plan

I noticed that on the ‘Disability Now’ website they had an application tool specifically for visually impaired people and the ‘Scope’ website didn’t. It was a tool where the user could change the colour of the background and change the size of the text. This doesn’t only help visually impaired user but dyslexia user as well.

I thought that the idea of creating a similar tool for the ‘Scope’ website, but as we were unable to modify the ‘Scope’ website. I came up with another idea of creating a website providing information and a step by step guide of how to create this tool and make your website suitable for visually impaired people.

Aims & Objectives

Here are some of the aims:

•  Create awareness and provide support for websites helping people with disabilities. •  Provide support for visually impaired people.

Here are some of the objectives are:

•  Gain at least 50 hits within a month. •  Have at least 10 or more disability websites to have a site which can be used by visual impaired people.

The benefits that could result from this project will not only be benefits to the users of the websites but also benefit the owners of the websites. Visually impaired users will be able to use their websites easily without any problems.

The owners of the websites will attract more users to their site. It is also the law now to have a site that can be used for the visually impaired. This project could benefit us because it will promote our site so we can get more hits and achieve our aims and objectives.

If you have any others ideas let me know

Cheers
