Disability Discrimination Act
What are the obligations in the DDA?
Broadly speaking, the DDA makes its lawful to discriminate against disabled people in the way in which you recruit and employ people; provide services; or provide education.
How does it apply to Websites?
Websites may be covered under the employment provisions, as they may be a means of advertising jobs; or there may be an intranet which staff need to use. Websites will most commonly be covered when they constitute the provision of a service, or they are related to education.
Accessibility

Are you aware of the Disability Discrimination Act?
This act is now fully implemented and it is now a legal requirement to ensure that your website is compliant and accessible. Web site accessibility isn't just a nice thing to have, its a legal requirement! Making your site accessible it also makes it standards compliant, improving customer navigation, accessability, usability and your search engine ratings: more customers can find your business and services
Redesigning a website is not just about changing pictures or its colour scheme. It involves a wide range of skills and disciplines. Think about those sites you do business with and why. Your website reflects your business: bad sites are easy. A professionally designed site takes time, effort and keeps your customers coming back again and again!
