Web accessibility

Accessibility Guidelines. Have you read PAS 78? You should if you are responsible for a web site.

There have been a few mentions of Pas 78 in the new media comics, but no in-depth coverage, so I have had a look around on the blogs and downloaded a copy so I can let you know what I think. In brief, you should read this if you manage or are planning to commission a public-facing web site, but you will still need to read the W3C WAI / WCAG guidelines and decide which recommendations to implement.

W3C Accessibility Standards

A checklist for Acessibility compliance for web site design and coding using HTML from the World Wide Web Consortium. At Ripe (www.ripe.co.uk) our standard is to meet Priority 1 and Priority 2 or 3 where practical.
