In this eBook, we’ll look at the technical and content requirements for an accessible website, the benefits, and why accessibility should be a priority from the start through the planning, design and delivery stages.
Key takeaways
One in four people in the UK have a disability. Disability can be permanent, situational or temporary.
Everything in this eBook has been written in line with WCAG. You can find more details on how to apply them in our further reading section at the end.
The public sector has set the standard for website accessibility, and consumers, whether they are disabled or not, are demanding the same from the private sector.
