RECITE ME SECTORS

Government Accessibility

Making sure a website is accessible and inclusive to all users is important for any business, but by the very nature of the services offered and the functions served by the government it is arguably even more important in this case.

Users Face Online Access Barriers on Government Websites

Recent research shows that a significant percentage of government website home pages still aren’t accessible to people with disabilities.

Providing assistive technology on government websites will allow visitors to understand the content in a way that works best for them.

Why you Should Provide Support on Government Websites

Support the Vulnerable

Government websites must be inclusive so that residents are not left in the dark about local rules, regulations, and what is going on in their communities.

Enhanced Brand Image

Welcoming people with varied disabilities and access needs promotes your commitment to inclusion and sets you apart from the competition.

Employer of Choice

Being inclusive sets you apart as an employer of choice. Higher staff satisfaction scores and reduced turnover rates will increase the pool of candidates who want to interview, work, and stay with you.

Let us show you how easy it can be.

"The product looked modern, fresh, and easy to use and had more features than we were hoping for. We were particularly impressed by all the dyslexic features, like plain text view and varying contrast. The purchase and installation of Recite Me was very easy and straightforward as all that had to be done was to insert a line of code into the council’s website. The team at Recite was a great help as they were always reachable and very helpful with any questions and suggestions. "
