Welcome

applications that are easy for people who have difficulty in
reading and writing
5.2 million adults in the United Kingdom have a literacy level

Most websites require a high degree of literacy, and form a
barrier to information for many people. But the internet has a huge
potential to provide easy access for everyone, by the use of video,
sound and appropriate design.
According to recent research Over 70% of adults who have
difficulty reading have a computer at home. Of those who do, over
70% of them use it to access the internet.
