Web accessibility is about making your website accessible to all
Internet users (both disabled and non-disabled), regardless of what
browsing technology they're using. In addition to complying with the
law, an accessible website can reap huge benefits on to your website
and your business.
Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and web accessibility
European Union websites must be accessible to all, including the 37 million European citizens with a disability.
What happens if your website does not comply?
A disabled person can make a claim against you if your website makes it
impossible or unreasonably difficult to access information and
services. If you have not made reasonable adjustments and cannot show
that this failure is justified, then you may be liable under the Act,
and may have to pay compensation and be ordered by a court to change
your site.
When we design your website you can be confident that all of our coding
is compliant with WAI standards, thereby ensuring that your site is
accessible. In addition we also provide a Text Only version of your
site free of charge.
