Jul 19, 2004 : NaviSite Europe Hosts WiderWeb

📅 July 19, 2004 - UK-based provider of managed application, infrastructure and messaging services, NaviSite Europe (navisite-europe.com), announced on Friday that it has formed a new partnership with Moore Innovations to host WiderWeb, a new service dedicated to creating Web pages that are accessible to disabled users.

WiderWeb enables Web site accessibility through automated gateway services allowing Web-owners to meet the W3C guidelines for accessibility and enhancing the user experience for disabled people.
The gateway offers an accessible version of a site generated in real time according to each user's requirements, including increased font size and colour changes, and can be implemented without any Web site redevelopment.
When a user requests a particular Web domain through the gateway, the Web page is obtained and transcoded into an accessible format with user customizations. Additional page requests in the session are then instantly routed through the gateway. NaviSite Europe will donate free hosting to the project and work with WiderWeb to develop market offerings for its launch in the third quarter.
