| 520 | _aDiscusses how access for disabled people under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) should be taken into consideration when designing or updating an existing website. Defines what is meant by accessibility. Explains how good website design can address the problems of access for a range of disabilities such as ensuring alternative methods of navigation. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international consortium with over 400 members hosts the Web Accessibility Initiative which includes a series of guidelines which are regarded as providing a minimum standard to ensure compliance with the legal obligation under the DDA. Comments on the findings of the Nomensa FTSE 100 Accessibility Report (available at www.nomensa.com) and the Business2www survey (available at www.business2www.com ). The Royal National Institute for the Blind (www.rnib.org.uk) supports the campaign for good website design and has stated that it would back any disabled person wishing to make a claim under the DDA in connection with accessible websites. Refers to Australian test case "Maguire v Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games" (H99/115, 18 November 2000). View decision at www.hreoc.gov.au. | ||
