Web Site Accessibility

Is website accessibility really that important?

Consider this:

• Web Site Accessibility is both morally and ethically rewarding - it's the right thing to do!
• It makes sound commercial sense - more visitors = more potential customers. Positive PR will ensue, and Search Engines will love your website as their search robots or spiders operate in the same way as the software that a visually impaired person would use.
• It's a legal requirement - Equality is a basic democratic right and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA), requires all publicly accessed websites to be compliant with Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) guidelines. Section 19 of which makes it unlawful for a provider of services to discriminate against a disabled person. A website is regarded as a service and therefore falls under this law, and as such must be made accessible to everyone.
  It falls on the service provider to make reasonable adjustments to comply with the legal requirements for website accessibility. If you choose to ignore this, a disabled person or representative can initiate a claim against the website owner.
