How to avoid being scammed
Websites for the Visually impaired
There has recently been an influx of spam emails in Australia from an amywils.1976@gmail suggesting that she is having problems navigating your website because she is visually impaired and your website is not compatible with screen readers.
If you receive this email, please cheerfully ignore and delete as it is actually just SPAM.
Joomla, Wordpress and Opencart (the main CMS's we use to build your websites) have been created with screen readers and visual impairment in mind. When we build your website we also take steps to ensure your website is usable for the visually impaired.
Form Spam? Get a Google reCaptcha
It's free to get and generally takes less than 30 minutes to enable on Joomla & Wordpress wesbites. All you need is a Google account. Go to https://www.google.com/recaptcha & select the blue blox Get reCaptcha.
Prevent spam on your website with minimum impact on genuine website users.
