Who Can Build You A Website That ‘Complies With UK Law’?
Blurb by Shaun Anderson (Hobo)Who can build you a website design that ‘complies with UK Law’?
No website design company is capable of producing a website for you that is “compliant with the law†or “compliant with the DDA” in the UK.
9.1.1 It is not possible to provide a definitive specification for a fully accessible website which will satisfy the requirements of the DDA. Website commissioners should therefore be sceptical if contracting companies declare that they will create websites that are “DDA-compliant†or “compliant with the lawâ€. Conversely, website commissioners should not require a web designer to design a website that is “DDA-compliant†or “compliant with the lawâ€. Until case law has been established such claims cannot be made or honoured. PAS 78 , 2006
Although there are many website design companies that build (or at least promise to build) quality, W3C compliant websites.
