Web Accessibility

What does Web Accessibility mean?

Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web.

• An accessible Web is essential for equal opportunities for people with disabilities
• Web accessibility benefits others, such as older people with changing abilities due to aging
• Web software has a vital role in Web accessibility

Why should I be concerned with Accessibilty?

There are several very good reasons why your website should be accessible.

• The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 means it is now UK Law to provide Accessible Websites. Failure to comply can leave your company open to legal action.
• Accesibility compliance is recognised 'best practice' and demonstrates the goodwill of your company and supports your equal opportunity policy.
• Accessible websites have the added beneift of being much easier to spider or crawl by search engines such as GoogleT, we believe this is reason enough to justify Accessibility compliance
