User-Friendly & Findable

Your site should appeal to the broadest range of visitors. For example many people use older PCs with slow dial-up connections or they may be sight impaired and use a screen reader.

Site visitors need to be able to find the information they want quickly and simply through the use of a powerful search engine or well organised site navigation.
