Our web solutions are underpinned by Context, our Content Management System. Context provides a comprehensive multi-site web-authoring and administration tool with integrated workflow processes. Key features:

  • Ability to create and manage multiples sites
  • Support for multiple languages (e.g. English and Welsh)

Accessibility

Up to 20% of users in some populations have disability issues. Increasingly, websites are required to be accessible to the widest possible audience. Government is setting the agenda in this area, but corporates are also playing an active role.

Epic supports the drive to greater accessibility and works to help clients achieve an appropriate level of compliance to guidelines for the target audience.
