Accessible Website Design Service

Design - Conformity - Hosting

Is your organisation/company website conforming to the Disability Discrimination Act, is it accessible to disabled people?

If not, then contact DAGEO IT Services for a site check - we can advise you on how to achieve compliance.

Even if your site displays a "Bobby" or "W3C" compliancy symbol - is it really compliant? Many sites that were complaint have been updated but not re-checked after updates & changes have been made - contact DAGEO.

If you have a site but not a domain, that's a site named after your organisation/company (e.g. www.dageo.co.uk) and would like your email addresses to also reflect your name (e.g. director@dageo.co.uk) - contact DAGEO.

If you don't have a site, but would like one - contact DAGEO.

Get a personalised domain e.g. www.yourcompany.co.uk or www.yourgroup.org.uk.

All Dageo hosted and managed sites are designed to conform to legislation by the Disability Discrimination Act and sites are verified by the W3C/WAI (World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative) and/or "WebXACT" (formerly "Bobby") standards

WHY YOU NEED AN ACCESSIBLE WEBSITE

Accessibility is relevant to all companies and voluntary organisations who wish to promote good practice within their environment and community.

There are five very good reasons for having an accessible website:

1. Legal - The law says you should. Websites are classed as a service under the Disability Discrimination Act (1995).
2. Business - It makes good business sense. Giving people a choice is good for business. Bad access is bad for business.
3. Economic - There are over 8.5 million disabled people in the UK - that's about one in seven of the population. With a combined disposable income of around £40billion a year can any company afford to exclude this market by making their Internet services and web sites inaccessible
4. Moral - It's morally the right thing to do, denying full access to any group of people cannot be justified
5. Social - We can contribute to a better world, where knowledge is power but is accessible to all people.

DAGEO IT Services can work with you to make your website accessible or create a site if you don't already have one of your own.

All DAGEO designed or maintained sites are rated "excellent" by NetGuide UK, promoters of accessible websites in the UK.
