The State National Day Celebration Organising Committee in Qatar has launched new features on the portal, www.qatar.qa, to celebrate National Day this year.

The interactive platform allows users to interact with one another through a social media network, with web accessibility for citizens with disabilities or special needs as well as the
elderly.

The portal has been updated with accessibility options and mobile app features. The web accessibility gives people with disabilities and the elderly the opportunity to surf the web. More specifically, users can visualise, understand, navigate and interact with the web as well as communicate through the different channels, the statement adds.

The portal is designed and developed by LINK Development, a leading provider of integrated software solutions across the Middle East and a subsidiary of OTVentures, a digital and technology solutions provider for both online and mobile
platforms.

The Qatar National Day portal features the latest information and news about National Day as it has been designed to provide people with a full view of the events as well as engagement and interaction across social media.

In addition, the portal offers social network integration features as well as content sharing. The website is also fully integrated with YouTube and Flickr, enabling visitors to fetch updated real-time photographs and videos through the Qatar National Day YouTube and Flickr channels.

With the rise of smartphone usage, a dedicated mobile apps section on the website allows visitors to download Qatar National Day ringtones, backgrounds and themes and mobile apps on their phones and smart devices. Users can also choose to download any of the four mobile apps: Qatar news app, multimedia app, Qatar Events app and Augmented Reality app for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows
Phone 8.

The portal is equipped with friendly usage options and compatibility on most phone types, platforms and models. The mobile apps are currently supported on iPhones, Windows mobiles and Android phones. The portal is available in two languages, English and Arabic, with a plan to add five more languages in the near future.
