Principle 1: PUBLIC - 1.07

1.07. Consider issues of physical disabilities, allocation of resources, economic disadvantage and other factors that can diminish access to the benefits of software.

In the point of view of the specifications of the project that we are undertaking, the ultimate product would be a website which would necessarily provide information regarding sustainable telecommunication and providing a platform (probably through a forum) to discuss any issues related to company, career opportunities and most importantly regarding the services they render to the community through their green concept and ethical manufacturing standards.

Hence if physical disabilities are taken into consideration, the majority of the community have no issues in accessing or getting the benefits out of the intended website. Fairly a small amount who have inabilities to view the site (issues with eyesight) or to use a computer or a device (physically handicapped) would be the ones that will not benefit out of the system. As the project team we have taken maximum effort to resolve issues that are possible to be given solutions such as using colours which are visible for colour blind people as well in the site.

The ultimate product would not cause a larger number of users to refrain from being used due to any economical disadvantage. Since the output would be a website, any user with a device (desktop or mobile device) with internet access can easily use the site. Only a few who do not have access to the above mentioned resources would be unable to use the product.

When the above factors were analyzed it was decided that the issues which would diminish access to the benefits of the website are minimal and the ultimate product would be important and useful to majority of the community.
