Web Accessibility

What is Accessiblity?

Web Accessibility is all about ensuring that anyone and everyone can view the contents of your website. At first this may sound simple but when you consider the various ways that content can be displayed and transmitted, it becomes more complex. Have you asked yourself the following questions:

What if the visitor on my organisation's website is colour blind?
What if the visitor on my organisation's website is partially sighted?
How is information being displayed at present?
Is information still conveyed clearly to visitors with disabilities?

Fortunately there are ways to solve the issues above and more. The solving of these issues is what accessibility is all about.

Web Accessibility legislation and statutes

There are a number of laws and statutes governing website accessibility in the United States (Section 508), United Kingdom (Disability Discrimination Act), European Union and worldwide. The majority of this legislation concerns not just online accessiblity but accessibility in all areas of life.

United Kingdom Disability Discrimination Act 1995

This Act was made statute law in the UK in 1995 but has still not filtered through to many areas of everyday life.

This Code of Practice gives practical guidance on how to prevent discrimination against disabled people by improving access to services and premises. It describes the duties of those providing services to the public and those selling, letting or managing premises (under Part III of the Act). The Code also helps disabled people to understand the law and assists service providers, landlords and other persons to avoid complaints and litigation by adopting good practice. It also aims to advance the elimination of discrimination against disabled people and to encourage good practice.

Since the World Wide Web and Internet are relatively new, so are the related applications of the DDA, however, the deadline for government and local government websites to be compliant has now passed.
