Brown Associates

Brown Associates is a Web development and design company specializing in the needs of small business and non-profit organizations. Our creations are designed to meet the needs of the client and to make client Web sites accessible to all visitors. We specialize in creative, useable and accessible multimedia that communicate.

We develop web sites from concept to completion if the client desires.That includes turn-key operations from developing and implementing the design to obtaining a web host and Internet Protocol IP) address to maintaining the site.

Web pages created by us are user friendly
They:

  • Load very quickly,
  • Encourage people to visit the Web site,
  • Have easy to use "navigation systems",
  • Make the information easily accessible to all individuals including those with limited or no vision,
  • Provide a printer friendly version of the Web pages,
  • Use design technologies which make the Web pages easily up-datable and maintainable, use the standards of the World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C).

For example individuals with a handicap such as limited vision due to aging can change the size of the words on this page by choosing View>Text Size on the Browser menu and choosing the appropriate size.

CSS and XHTML are utilized to build the web sites we design, which means your web site will be available to the widest audience possible. Our focus on usability, accessibility and W3C standards compliance means that the sites we design will be built to endure the ever changing world of browsers and portable internet devices.

Web sites designed by us employ the most useful code (XHTML and CSS) and programs (Dreamweaver Contribute) to make the sites easy to manage and to be updated by the client if they desire. Our designs for accessibility ensure equal opportunities for people with disabilities.

Designing for accessibility means ensuring that:
  • Text is easy to understand
  • The navigation and the flow of the site is logical and easy to follow
  • There are meaningful text alternatives for all content images and multimedia
  • All image material and colors are unambiguous to visually impaired user
  • There is a glossary explaining all acronyms and abbreviations

The "navigation system" and links on our Web pages are not only centrally located and easy to understand, the links have pop-up boxes which explain where the link leads. As noted the text on our pages is re-sizable to fit the needs of people with different vision acuities.

In contrast to most Web pages, our designs enable a blind individual who uses a reader to read the Web pages effortlessly. Additionally, our page designs are printer friendly and use conventions to make a printed copy of the page a printed copy and not just a copy of a Web page.
