Web sites and web pages
designed and hosted in the United Kingdom
are subject to the provisions of the Disability
Discrimination Act 1999. This means that
web sites must be accessible to people
with disabilities, in particular those
who are completely blind and those with
visual impairment.
It is also good practice
to make web pages that do not disadvantage
people who are dyslexic and those who are
colour blind.
The World Wide Web Consortium
has set out extensive standards for making
web sites accessibile. The W3C has provided
a checklist
of points for web content accessibility.
