Cyberport website wins top award for accessibility |
Cyberport's website has earned a top-tier award at
the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) and the Equal
Opportunities Commission's first ever Web Accessibility Recognition Scheme.
The Gold Award recognizes the importance of web accessibility and its role in
facilitating access to online information and services to all the community
including the visually and hearing impaired, physically handicapped, elderly and
also cognitively disabled.
Ms. Winnie Wong, Head of Marketing of Cyberport received the award on 15 April
at an awards ceremony that was also one of the official events of the
International IT Fest.
"The award reflects our commitment in promoting ICT adoption and efforts towards
building a digitally inclusive society," said Ms. Wong.
"Our achievement would not have been possible without our strong team, and the
collaboration with i2 Hong Kong Limited and Access Testing, a Cyberport's
Smart-Space user. They were true partners and worked hard to ensure our website
was user-friendly and accessible," she added.
Access Testing was Cyberport's web accessibility consultant providing testing
disciplines, tools and techniques to improve the website experience. i2 Hong
Kong Limited was the technical partner and implemented frontend and backend
changes to the website.
Cyberport was earlier in the year also awarded the Jade Award of Internet
Professional Association's Web Care award.
