ACCESSIBILITY
The UK Disability Discrimination Act applies to websites, and is actively enforced by the Disability Rights Commission. The internet is a resource that can transform the lives of disabled users; the blind and visually impaired can shop online, those with cognitive difficulties can learn on-line at their own speed and consumers with hearing impairments can access rich media content.Website accessibility goes beyond just designing for people with physical or cognitive disabilities, and has direct benefits beyond conforming to disability discrimination laws. Websites optimized for accessibility are more usable for non-disabled users, making it easier for them to become customers, and allowing your website to reach its full potential.
