Hemscott IR can develop hard-coded microsites that help meet shareholder e-communications program needs while maintaining accessibility and usability guidelines. Multimedia content can be incorporated and usability can be maximised by utilising features such as search, data downloads, bookmarks, charting tools, and feedback forms. An HTML report can be integrated into a corporate website while retaining the identity of a company's printed report, and made accessible to all Web users-including those using voice output or hand-held devices. Fundamental data can be downloaded into Microsoft ® Excel spreadsheets enabling true interactivity.
For Schroders (FTSE 100), Hemscott IR converted the hard-copy 2008 annual report into an easily-navigable HTML version that offers user-selectable text size, PDF downloads, and e-mail and print capabilities. An HTML conversion meets accessibility and usability guidelines and can offer additional functionality such as Excel spreadsheet downloads and extractable data.
