"The Law -
It has been law since 1999 to have an accessible website. Now we are seeing civil litigation and the Disability Rights Commission (DRC) has served notice that they will also be taking legal action against organisations in the near future.
Boost your website?s reach ?
An inaccessible site may exclude a significant proportion of your customers. There are 8.6 million people with disabilities in the UK with a cumulative disposable income of nearly £50 billion (Institute of Employment Studies).
An inaccessible website may also exclude those using older browsers, PDAs, WAP phones, WebTV or computers behind a firewall."
WTF? Ironically, the site that commisioned the report into web accessability (The Disability Rights Commission) doesn't even have a HTML version of the report...
