We have worked hard to produce a website that demonstrates how mainstream tools can be effectively used to build a site that is modern, functional, contemporary and visually pleasing, while at the same time being fully accessible to people using screen readers and other adaptive technology. We’ve put a lot of effort into organising our various documents so if you are looking for something in particular that we have published, we hope you will easily find it.

Our new visual signature is evident on the website. We are really pleased with it and we have received really good feedback about it. This is part of our work to present our organisation in a contemporary new way. In particular it is important that people understand the difference between our organisation and the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind.

So I hope you keep coming back regularly to learn more about what we are doing.
