accessibility

Making your website content and functionality accessible to all web users, irrespective of disabilities, is not only a moral but also legal obligation, as set out in recent UK legislation; 'The Disability Discrimination Act' (1999) and 'The Special Educational needs and Disability Act' (2002).

It is also commercially critical to have an accessible site, given that one in five people in the UK are disabled - 18% according to the 2001 census.

bit10 can ensure that your website complies with legislation by auditing it against best practice guides, or testing it with our established panel of disabled Internet users.

We also offer training for site developers to ensure future development projects comply with the Disability Discrimination Act.
