What's New
2018/06/22NewTrek Systems Limited won again the Triple Gold Award of the Web Accessibility Recognition Scheme in 2018/19
Since 2013, the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) and the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) have joined hands to organise four rounds of Web Accessibility Recognition Scheme to encourage local enterprises and organisations to adopt accessibility design in their websites and mobile applications.
Starting from 2018, Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited (HKIRC) has taken up to organise the new round of the Web Accessibility Recognition Scheme while the OGCIO is the co-organiser and EOC is the independent advisor. It is expected that HKIRC can leverage on its extensive customer network to more effectively promote the adoption of accessibility design on websites and mobile applications by enterprises and organisations.
We are most happy to announce that the www.newtrek.com.hk website of NewTrek Systems Limited has been awarded again the Triple Gold Award under the Web Accessibility Recognition Scheme 2018/19 jointly organized by the HKIRC and co-organized by the OGCIO and the EOC. The award is to recognize that the NewTrek website has won the Gold Award for five (5) consecutive years since the establishment of this scheme in 2013! NewTrek is most privileged to incorporate the web accessibility design into our website not only to facilitate our customers and different users, but also persons with disabilities and special needs. It is an Artisanal Movement to realize an incubator for ideas, and a channel for audiences to experience them!
Nowadays, the Internet permeates every aspect of our daily life, allows people to access information and services online, and interacts with each other anytime anywhere. Making websites and mobile apps accessible not only facilitates everyone including disability groups, but also helps facilitating business development and building an inclusive society.
By incorporating web accessibility design, organizations would:
− Comply with the legal requirement on protection against disability discrimination
− Fulfill social responsibility and project positive corporate image
− Reach more customers by making online services easy-to-use and easy-to-search by everyone
− Make online services easier-to-maintain by adopting the good coding practices of web accessibility design
− Contribute to building a caring and inclusive society
