designers of beautiful websites

Why?

Because The Disabiity Descrimination Act (DDA) specifically mentions accessible websites in sections 7.22 'Provision for people with a hearing disability' and 7.27 'Provision for people with visual impairment'. Section III of the DDA, which refers to accessible websites, came into force on 1st October 1999 and the Code of Practice for this section of the DDA was published on 27th May 2002. There are still many websites which do not conform. This puts the website owners in a vulnerable position with regard to potential legal action.

You can download a copy of the Code of Practice from Equality and Human Rights Commission website Code of Practice

Because ...

... accessible websites, built with style sheets instead of tables, also make it much easier for search engines to index your site corrrectly, resulting in improved search engine position and more customers to your site.

Because ...

... you only get a few seconds to impress visitors to your website and turn them into customers.
