The Disability Rights Commission recently conducted a survey of 1000 websites’ levels of accessibility and found that over 80% didn’t meet the minimum requirements under the law. They warned that companies that don’t make their websites accessible to all could face unlimited fines and compensation.
The RNIB (Royal National Institute of the Blind) have already taken legal action against two large websites resulting in them being required to rebuild their respective websites to comply with the obligations of the Disability Discrimination Act. People with sight disabilities can surf the internet using speech web browsers - these require websites to be designed in conformance with the necessary standards.
The Disability Rights Commission estimates people with a disability spend £50bn in the UK each year and a large proportion of people with some level of disability now rely on the internet to manage their everyday lives. Not only could you be losing valuable customers but you could also be breaking the law.
The Disability Discrimination Act came into force in 1995, section 3 of the Act (which specifically mentions website accessibility) came into force in 2002.
"The Act makes it unlawful for a service provider to
discriminate against a disabled person by refusing to provide them
any service which it provides to members of the public."
Code of Practice, DDA (Disability Discrimination Act)
Even if your website has been built since the Act came into force, it does not mean that it is compliant to DDA and web standards as many professional web designers still do not understand or conform to them correctly.
For a one off fee we of just £140 + VAT we will test your website for compliance with the required standards as set out by W3C. The W3C are the body responsible for setting standards in technologies and practices on the internet. They operate the Web Accessibility Initiative which identifies best practices for creating accessible websites.
It's widely believed that if, or perhaps more appropriately when, a case makes it to court that the W3C accessibility guidelines will be used to assess a website's accessibility and ultimately decide the outcome of the case.
So, what we will test your website for?
- Compliance to the W3C HTML standards,
- compliance to the W3C CSS standards,
- compliance to the W3C Priority 1 guidelines for DDA compliance,
What will you get for just £140 + VAT?
- An overview of your website conformance to the above standards,
- an independent review,
- piece of mind.
