Stewartry Technology Limited is committed to helping businesses ensure
their websites are accessible to all.
Businesses and organisations that offer goods and services through
their websites now have a legal duty through the Disability Discrimination
Act (DDA) to make their sites accessible to disabled people. Yet
a comprehensive investigation into the accessibility of websites
by the Disability Rights Commission (DRC) revealed that less than
20% of sites meet the requirements.
That means that many of Britain’s almost 10 million disabled
people are prevented from accessing on-line shopping sites, are
not able to book holidays, hotels, flights or theatre tickets.
Disabled people have a spending power in excess of £40 billion
and they could be YOUR customers.
Research by the DRC found that less than 10% of web developers
claimed expertise in designing accessible websites. Stewartry
Technology Limited has extensive experience in this field with
an understanding of accessibility requirements. We can help to
ensure you are not excluding people from your sites by incorporating
W3C/WA1 guidelines.
