March 13, 2006 (Press Release) --
New web design and consulting company CheckEngine USA aims to make the online experience easier for users worldwide by improving the overall quality of web site code, and advocating universal accessibility. CheckEngine USA is a full-service web firm, offering a range of solutions in web development, hosting, and enterprise consulting. The company specializes in "The Big Three" in web development—usability, standards, and accessibility—hence the acronym "USA."
According to its founder, Dennis Lembree, CheckEngine USA was created for three reasons: to help make web sites easier to use; to accelerate adoption of world-wide coding standards and guidelines; and to enhance online content accessibility for the general public.
"Our mission is to design and fine-tune web sites so that they are not only visually appealing, but also user-friendly, standards-compliant, and accessible to anyone, no matter what browser or computer they use, or type of disability they may have."
Lack of web site accessibility is a principal concern for CheckEngine USA. Coding web sites for accessibility improves the online experience for those with disabilities, inexperienced web surfers, and users with limited technology such as an older browser, a lowband internet connection, or those without computer audio. In the United States, web accessibility is a legal requirement for federal or federally-funded web sites under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Other countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom have stricter web accessibility laws. Recently, retail giant Target was sued by the National Federation of the Blind because its web site content was not accessible to blind users.
The vast majority of existing web sites are not fully accessible, including those where users may especially benefit such as sites for medical companies, retirement services, and public organizations.
