A New Way of Looking at Websites with CABVI

Jan. 31, 2017 — It is with great pleasure for us to announce the launch of the Central Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CABVI)'s new responsive website. By working directly with CABVI, Quadsimia was able to better understand the needs of the visually impaired and blind when it comes to using the internet. The new responsive website was developed including features to help the visually impaired get the information they need quickly and easily on their computer, tablet, or mobile device.

In 1929, a group of concerned and dedicated citizens in Utica, New York recognized a need in the community and rose to a noble challenge: to help people who were blind and visually impaired. Aspiring to a greater good, they founded the Central Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Their mission then was to assist people who are blind or visually impaired to achieve their highest levels of independence.  CABVI continues to operate as a not-for-profit agency that serves people who are blind or visually impaired, from newborns to the elderly.

CABVI's new reponsive website allows users to enlarge the font to whatever size they need, or they can simply click the "skip to main content" button, which comes in handy for those who have trouble reading a lot of information.  The size of images may also be altered. Images are also provided with title tags and text underneath the images so users can read about the picture if they cannot see it.
