This free booklet and CD is an invaluable, practical and simple introduction to web accessibility. Accessibility – making your website available to all - is good practice and a legal requirement in many countries. This publication tells you what UK law says, but its advice is equally relevant wherever you are in the world. I’d recommend that charities get one copy of this pack for themselves and give another to their web designer.
If you work for a charity and you’re commissioning your website, read the first short section of this booklet. It tells you why accessibility matters, what to expect from your web designer and how to check that work is done to standard. If you will be writing the content for the site, putting text and images onto the pages, read the second short section of the booklet. If you’re a web designer, sorry but you get the biggest section of the booklet, the one that goes into detail on the technicalities of writing accessible html and css and other code.
