About Us
Aardvark Web Works & Virtual Business Solutions was founded in 2003.
After spending nearly twenty years as a creative
in Advertising, Print and Marketing, and the next ten years in Information Technology,
it was about time to get out from under the thumbs of my 'superiors' and share
my capabilities with the world.
I decided to completely focus on the web as my next logical step. While researching
for my new business, I found how inaccessible much of the web is to
people with certain abilities, whether it be visual, aural, cognitive, physical
impairments or technologically disabled by dial-up. Each and everyone of us has
the right to access information in the same manner for education, health care,
government information, recreation and countless other things.
Becoming an advocate of accessible web design, the most important thing
I can do is educate the business community on the importance of accessible
web design so the nearly twenty-seven percent of the population, as disabled,
can easily interact with the web and feel they can contribute positively to society
and the world.
Peace.
Namaste,
Marlene Frykman
